  • 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Order No.16 is a Motion by the distinguished Senator for Vihiga County, Sen. Khaniri; and he is out of the country on official duty. Can we defer it like the others? If he wanted it moved on his behalf, he would have asked me. view
  • 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have listened to the petition before the House with a lot of interest. You will recall that when we brought the Constitution, 2010, we set up the National Land Commission (NLC) to deal with issues that this petition is raising; to remedy the injustices in the land holding and land tenure system as well as help the helpless people who have been dispossessed of land. This Petition addresses one of those issues where group ranches which are in arid and semi-arid land (ASAL) areas, therefore, with very fragile ecosystems have been recklessly subdivided to a ... view

  • 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to urge the Committee - I believe the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources - that they have to look into this issue, but more importantly, make a profound Statement on the failings of the National Land Commission that transformed itself from a very noble Commission in the Constitution to a den of profiteers and fraudulent characters, who have been doing all manner of things that have nothing to do with what they were set up to do, so that the people in this country can be protected and ownership of land is ... view

  • 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Land is a tool of production according to the Constitution and people who amass land and hold titles for purposes other than production should also be in focus.

  • 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support the distinguished lady. The problem with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this country is that it is grossly underfunded. At independence, Emperor Haile Selassie gave Kenya five acres of land next to State House in Addis Ababa and Mzee Kenyatta gave Ethiopia two-and- a-half acres of land next to State House in Nairobi. The Ethiopian Embassy in Nairobi is a magnificent place but our Embassy in Addis Ababa is a slum and that runs through in many places. The question by the distinguished Senator is too broad. Some embassies are not ... view

  • 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: We should look out for embassies that are dilapidated rather than fishing through every embassy to bring an answer that is difficult to zero in on. view
