• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the amendment. In some instances, we have seen our land being gazetted by the KWS and people being evicted. As a result, we created this law. So, I beg to support. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in the area, we already have community conservations, which are manned by the communities. However, this community has never been consulted on this issue. They are not even aware and I was even surprised to see it in the Bill. They were not consulted. Already, people have settled there and have permanent residents. This was a trust land. After the new Constitution, all trust lands were converted to community land. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Committee for the good work it has done despite the fact that I am not happy. However, I believe that when I am pursuing other avenues, at least, to liberate this community the Committee will support me. Coming from a pastoral community today is a big day for that community especially on compensation. There is also sharing of resources in the Bill within private conservancies. I also want to thank all Members who have sacrificed their time to be with us and go through the Bill ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as a Member of the Lands Committee, this community has been living there for the last 50 years. There are about 400 families against one. So, it was our recommendation as a Committee that this community be settled on that area and Mr. Trent be compensated by the Government. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like the Chairman to address the compensation of one person who was killed in that area. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. I came from that constituency. The issue concerning Kuntai, which was reported by hon. Sara is a very serious issue in Laikipia. It is shocking! When we addressed this issue to the police, it took more than four months. We have not got any response. It is true that, after a foreigner was murdered in Laikipia, it took short time and the people were arrested. This is a community living within the ranchers, the conservancy area. We know what is happening and we have lost a number of people. This issue should be taken seriously. ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources concerning the gazettement of land in Laikipia as a national reserve. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Speaker, Sir, the land--- view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Madam Deputy Speaker. The land measuring 125 square kilometers in Sosian Ward has been community land and, therefore, held in trust for the people of Laikipia. There is a population of 25,000 who live on that Land. Sosian Primary and Nursery School are an indication of adequate settlement and development of the said land. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire and report why this land was gazetted as a national reserve and yet it is community land and the community in that area was not consulted or involved. Secondly, the Chairperson should report where this community will go. view
