There is need to make sure that every member of the community benefits from proceeds accruing from the lease of community land. There is also need for us to come up with stiff penalties against people who will ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: There is also need for the community to register a trust. They should make sure that they have a trust or a way of registering their land. We cannot trust the county governments to hold trust on unregistered community land because those are individuals who have their own different interests. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Another thing that the Bill should bring out clearly is in a case where a community has registered a piece of land and it is used for a project for some time. There must be measures to make sure that after a certain time, that piece of land is reverted back to the community so that the community can renew the lease of the extended period of the project. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: There is also need for the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development to appoint registrars who come from those particular counties when they start registering community lands. One of my colleagues has just said that some of the community land is lost because of land registrars who go to the ground and give title deeds for inappropriate land sizes without knowing exactly where the land is or even gathering background information on the land. view

• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to support this Motion on the approval of these two nominees, who actually come from the pastoralist communities of Kenya. At the outset, I want to thank the President for nominating Mr. Charles Sunkuli, on behalf of the people of Narok, Kajiado and the pastoralist communities at large.

• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to also contribute to this Motion. I thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and the Ministry for bringing this Sessional Paper to the Floor of this House. I urge the Ministry to make sure that they follow up on the implementation and enforcement of this policy paper, so that it does not gather dust on shelves.

Some of these things are brought by us not following, or trying to conserve our natural resources. So, I urge the Ministry to implement this policy. The Ministry should ... view
