• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: will then know, for example, that it is against the law to build a house one metre from the road or block a passage and easement to a property behind their property, or block drainage.

• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Some of these laws, in fact, ought to have been promulgated in the counties themselves. However, of late, it has become so embarrassing that our assemblers spend a lot of energy fighting each other, their speakers and doing all manner of things, instead of legislating things that we are now obligated to legislate as a Senate. If they were doing their work properly, probably, we would not be doing this. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 13 (1) is good. It says:- “A notice required to be given shall be deemed to have been served if it is served upon the owner or the occupant of the premises.” view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: However, Clause 13(2) is a bit tricky. It states- “Where the owner or occupant or a property cannot be traced, the notice shall be placed in a conspicuous place of the structure or buildings.” Sometimes the owners of property do not live on the property. The Senator should obligate counties to have a database of owners of property, including their addresses so that when they break the law--- It is very easy to do that apart from big cities like Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu. For example, if you go to Bungoma County and want to take the addresses of every ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we need to have a law that says that if one has committed and offence and cannot be found, then they will be traced through an address that the county government has. It will be negligent on the part of the county government if they do not keep a database of their own people. This is because they have to levy taxes and provide services. You cannot levy taxes on people you do not know. Ingenious county governments must be having personal identification numbers of sorts for the people in their counties. In fact, if you go ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: All in all, this is a very good law that is filling a void that exists. I would also want Sen. Khaniri to create at least a clause that obligates the police and the enforcement officers to have some synergy. This is because when an enforcement officer arrests an offending person and takes them to the police, the police could even refuse to cooperate. They could say: “We are not the ones who have arrested this person. We are few. What do we do?” We need to obligate the police also to be part and parcel of the structures of ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I finish, what we must guard and protect is to save the ordinary man and woman in the villages from the brutality of what were commonly called “ kanjo askaris”. We have seen how they destroy property in Gikomba and pitch battles with hawkers in the streets. Sometimes we may understand, but the level of violence they meet on ordinary people far exceeds the offences they pursue and presume to have been committed. We want to see that there is order that must be observed by everybody through public education and hearings. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Finally, Sen. Khaniri should obligate the county governments to carry out civic education in market centres and towns; to tell people their dos and don’ts within the law.

• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: This will ensure that when they are operating they know the yellow line, amber line or red line that they cannot cross. Then we can have an orderly society. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I support and congratulate Sen. Khaniri for living to my expectations as my kid brother for bringing this wonderful Bill. view
