I stand to support the petitioners in this matter. In Meru, especially the areas surrounding Mt. Kenya, Buuri Constituency, Laikipia, Ontulili, Gathioro and other places, a number of pieces of land were gazetted by the Government to settle squatters but due to a problem in the Meru Land Registry, some “scrupulous” officials in the Ministry of Lands joined hands with a few tycoons and grabbed the land which was meant for squatters. This started happening in 1975. If the matter is followed keenly one would discover that land which was meant for squatters, was not given to them. The area ...

The Petition written to you is very correct. If it is followed keenly, it will be seen that land was hived out of the forest to be given to the petitioners but it was taken by few “scrupulous” tycoons in Meru in collaboration with…

Unscrupulous. I mean they were not sympathetic to the situation of the squatters. Those squatters should be considered. That case should be followed up keenly and at the end of the day the squatters will get their right.

Hon. Speaker, I wake up to support the Motion on the ground that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund is very important money which comes to the mwananchi. The money allocated to the NG-CDF in the constituencies, especially the money I have been seeing in my constituency is not adequate at all. The money which comes to the constituencies is so low, taking into account what is taking place in the county governments and what is being done by the members of county assemblies and, even the governor. It is good if this money can be doubled. When this money ...

As I support this Motion, it is my humble prayer that the Speaker gives the new Members opportunity to speak in the Chamber. We came together with Members who are more senior than me in this House, but they get more opportunity to speak. We place our cards together, but they are considered. We had a meeting which we were supposed to attend but they attended after speaking here. So, I remained behind to get opportunity. This is my second time to speak since I came to this House yet I have been attending it on daliy basis and placing ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I understand and I am very happy for the correction. What I am trying to say is that, as we speak in this House today, the people who were in the offices from some constituencies before last election are still working in those offices because they have not been paid their dues for 2016/2017 Financial Year. They cannot move from those offices because they do not know how they will get their money. We have tried to enquire and it has been said that the NG-CDF does not incur debt. They have said they are going ...

Hon. Speaker, may I take this opportunity to thank God for enabling me to be the Member of Imenti Central Constituency. I had tried more than once to vie. It has taken the hand of God and the support of my people to win in this particular election of 2017. May I take this opportunity to congratulate you for being elected the Speaker of this august House. I also congratulate the rest of the House leadership for being elected. In the same vein, I wish to take this opportunity to generally thank the people of Meru. They really supported me ...
