• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also want to thank the Ministry for the prompt action they have taken as regards this sub-district hospital. However, as the Assistant Minister notes, the District Hospital in Tana River County, namely, Hola District Hospital, has been condemned for the last four years by the Ministry of Public Works. When are they going to swiftly rehabilitate the infrastructure or also construct a new hospital since land has also been given for the construction of the Hola District Hospital? view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also voice my support for the Bill and a few concerns. I would like to disagree with my very good friend and aspiring Governor for Tana River that all those Members of Parliament who support an extension date with regard to when this Bill has to be enacted into law, are maybe running away because they do not understand the Bill or are doing so because they are protecting big land owners. The reasons could be different for each and every Member supporting such a stand that we ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, ownership of land where I come from and hon. Mungatana will attest to it, is more so confirmed by neighbourhood and only by a few witnesses who can say that “this piece of land for the 20 years that I have lived here, belongs to hon. Orengo”. No paper work, no paper trail, no signatures and the few who have gone a pedestal higher are the ones who own a few allotment letters from the county council and some who have a few receipts from the cess collectors of the county councils which we come from. ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Where I come from, you own a piece of land basically by having to fence it off and saying that this is your piece of land. Then two, three or even 15 to 20 years after someone has lived on a piece of land peacefully without any troubles and without having anybody asking him where his title deed and papers are, someone comes with a piece of paper and says that that land is his. With a stroke of a pen in Nairobi, someone who has lived on a quarter acre of land or on a plot of land in ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, these are the reasons why the common person down there has to be empowered just as the rich have been empowered to get title deeds. The common man has to be enabled to get a title deed just as the one who is moneyed and well-oiled is able to get a title deed. Information has to be available in every cadre, even at the locational level. What harm would it do if registries were public; that, at least, if I wanted to know in a certain locality how many title deeds are present, I would do ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to voice my support and a few concerns here and there on the Bill. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to thank the Minister and his team for having put together a well-thought-out document. The few areas that we think need refining is the reason we are standing to contribute. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to, first, reiterate the comments by the previous speakers; that the realization by the Ministry to forestall any sort of bad blood or incoherence that might arise from the 47 counties within themselves and even between them and the national Government is good. The fact that we need a body that would try and regulate in some of form coherence, to see how the efforts of the county governments within themselves and between the county governments and the national Government, can be geared towards one of mutual understanding, respect and puts the interest ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to go to the few clauses that I might have issues with. I want to begin with Clause 10. There is a provision that the National Assembly, Senate or county assemblies may upon receiving the annual report, under sub- section 1, make such recommendations to the Summit as they may consider necessary. I would want the Minister to listen very keenly on this. When a report is submitted to the county assemblies, National Assembly or Senate, it is not a report that will just come and be tabled in the House and lie dormant. ... view
