• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Bill has come at the right time. It is one of the Bills with a constitutional timeline. We are trying to align our laws with the Constitution so that energy is properly exploited, especially in the northern part of this country, which is very well endowed with oil resources. We would like those things to be managed properly. The Bill provides how that will be managed. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view

• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the Report of the Liaison Committee on the BPS and the Debt Management Strategy for the year 2016/17 in the Medium-Term. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me congratulate the Liaison Committee for a job well done. They got into this business at a very short notice, but being Chairs of various Committees, they are well versed with the process. They did a good job and I congratulate them. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The BPS is just the word “policy”. What we have been given so far is only guidelines and how the Government expects to fund the Budget for the Financial Year 2016/2017. It actually shows the programmes in various State Departments and agencies, but you will see that the targeted revenue for this year is Kshs1.5 trillion as opposed to Kshs1.36 trillion last year. It is a very marginal increase as you can see. It has been mentioned in the Report of the Committee that the revenue projections have not been met. In fact, so far, in the Mid-Term, by December ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: which are along the pillars that have been put here by our National Treasury, especially infrastructure and energy, there are many gaps which need to be funded. We have elections every five years and successive Governments come with policies and manifestos of what they want to do, but not forgetting that programmes which are funded through Government funding take time to materialise and the Government lives in perpetuity. You cannot abandon programmes that were started by previous Governments and pretend that you are going to start afresh. That is why we are getting a lot of difficulties. Many projects that ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I come from a region where when you talk of infrastructure, it is as if we live in the Stone Age period. Our roads are impassable. Our hope was in the programmes that the Government announced a few years ago. It was made clear that we would have a road going to Mandera. The single most important programme for us is the road. Indeed, we have no business being part of the Government if that road is not done. We urge the Government to do that road for us. I must congratulate the Government for the work they are doing ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Wamalwa, you have talked. That is very unfair of you, I have summarised. I support this Bill, but I am waiting for the estimates to come. This is only the blanket funding, when the actual estimates come, let us look at them with open eyes and make sure that the projects that are currently going on are finalised. We, as Parliamentarians, say what projects should be done in our area. I will not stop saying that projects in the North Eastern Region must be done, especially the road between Garissa and Mandera. With those few remarks, I support. The ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill. The Bill sets the legal framework for actualising Article 63 of our Constitution. In our Constitution, land has been divided into three namely, public land, private land and communal land. Land is the single most important asset this country has. Kenya has a landmass of 582,000 square kilometres. Similarly, within the 582,000 square kilometres is land which is inhibited by Kenyans of various backgrounds. Some are agricultural while others are pastoral. There are people who live in shrines and kayas. I come from the ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: this country, which forms one-third or two-thirds of the land mass of this country. Very few parts of our region are agricultural. Very few parts are also public land. Public land is where we have Government properties like Army camps and schools. The vast majority of that land is communal land. This land has not been managed and pastoralists are grazing their animals on the land. Ownership is by settling. When you have a house, then you say it is your place. This Bill provides how that land is going to be managed, protected, utilised and administered. The task ahead ... view
