• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Petition. One of the reasons I disagreed with the Land Value Index Bill and the proposal to relocate people and compensate them much later is based on experience. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I have brought two Petitions of two communities in Makueni County. One in a place called Mulima Dam and another one called Manooni. The Government took away their land in 1984. They are Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to date. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: A gentleman by the name Matere whose land was supposed to be compensated for the SGR at Kshs8 million, has tractors of China Wu YI company somewhere along Ongata Rongai. He has not been relocated or paid and does not know where to go. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: I do not know who has changed the law of this country to say that Government projects, particularly Chinese ones have become more important than land, to the extent that one is told, “Go, we will construct a road for you and then we will come and compensate you.” We cannot distort the law on land. It is wrong and cannot happen. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the fact that Prof. Swazuri and his Committee were gangsters who mistreated Kenyans and stole land on the SGR, is not a good reason to take our people’s land. The people who are affected, whether it is on the highway where Sen. Wamatangi is talking about or Makueni or Maasai land, are ordinary people who have nowhere to go. In most of these cases including Thwake Dam, you are relocating people who have left the graves of their ancestors there and you are telling them to go away and that you will pay them after two years. ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Sen. Wamatangi, if we do not agree with your Petition, you should go to court because that is where you will get justice. I do not think that the Government is thinking about ordinary Kenyans as we go along. Everybody is thinking about highways, roads and most likely the 2 or 2.5 per cent that they are getting for contracts. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of the interest that this matter has generated, I would propose that the directions be issued that the document be circulated. We do not want to make comments generally; we want to interrogate the Report itself. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a small concern which I thought I would get your direction half an hour before time under Standing Order No.31. Hon. Senators want to contribute to the maize debate and the Motion on the Adoption of the 2019 Budget Policy Statement but we are rushing both. There is one solution to that. We either step down one or you allow, under Standing Order No. 31, that we extend the sitting of this Senate until we debate both matters extensively and exhaustively. view
