Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to comment on the statement that has been sought by the Senator for Meru. As my colleagues have said, this is new. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we were conversing here with the Senate Majority Leader. This is a constitutional matter that was brought to the attention of the Judge of the High Court. You said that this is a serious matter that must be addressed. So, you sent it back to Njuri Ncheke. There are two issues. Firstly, the Senator for Meru has confirmed to us that he is a member of Njuri Ncheke. How ...

Like the Senator for Kitui said, on this particular matter of Meru, this time around, we, as a Senate, have to ensure that the people of Meru get justice. They are not children of a lesser god. We have to do everything we can.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I rise to second this Bill, allow me to, first, make an observation on two of our very senior legislators in this House; the Senator for Tana River County, Sen. Mungatana and the Senator for Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who was a parliamentarian when I was a primary school child.

The two legislators take their legislative work very seriously. Rarely will you miss the face of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale sitting here from 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. everyday. It is the same case for the Senator for Tana River County.

I see the Senator of Kiambu County is a bit excited. He wants me to include him in that list. Anyway, because I am cut from the cloth of the truthful men, I will hold back including him in that particular list. We are learning from the best. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate.

I rise to second this Bill that has been brought by the Senate Majority Leader. I am being distracted by the Senator for Kisii County, Sen. Orwoba, who is now pushing that it is now time for the Senator for Kakamega County to serve his people in other positions such as Governor. That is up to him. He will make that choice right time. He had attempted it sometime back, but many other things happened.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your guidance. You are also a person we look up to since you are also serving your third term. If my calculations are right, you started serving in 2013, when I was a student. You are in that category of people who keep serving this nation. The purpose and intent of this Bill, as has been elucidated by the Senate Majority Leader, is to ensure that all our public land is registered in the name of the institutions upon which this public land has been granted. As the Chairman of the Standing Committee ...

There is something else that has been the intent of this particular Bill. I am sure the Senator for Kiambu County will be very interested in this particular conversation; the dispute that you see in the Tatu City Development structure is that; for the 5,000-acre parcel of land, there was an intention to have 406 acres of it forfeited as part of three primary schools and other utilities in that particular development. I think, of the initial 5,000 acres, 406 acres were supposed to go for public use. However, over time and as the value of that land grows, the ...
