• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: it is supposed to improve the physical, social and economic welfare of an area to ensure that its dwellers are happy and live well. But now, what do we see? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have seen areas, even the estates in Nairobi such as Kileleshwa, Lavington, et cetera, which are almost becoming slums. That is due to failure of us to plan and zone our cities. When I went to London, I felt embarrassed to see big chunks of farmland there and it is now 300 years and more since their democracy. Due to planning, they have big farmlands ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I was supporting the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy that instead of going The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: through all the clauses now that the justification is the same, he could just say, “As per the Order Paper.” It will be faster that way. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support the annulment of these regulations. When I listened to the Leader of the Majority Party articulate the mandate of the Committee, I felt that he really understands the whole gist of the matter. The rider of these Land Registration (Electronic Land Transactions) Regulations is public participation. One of the key stakeholders in this area is the National Land Commission (NLC). I learnt that it was not consulted. Article 67 of the Constitution articulates the functions of the NLC. If you do not involve them, it is serious ignorance. Sixty ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Parliament, for example, was not consulted, how do we allow such regulations to be sneaked in? I agree in totality with the Committee that these regulations be annulled and thrown away with immediate effect. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party is well versed with the Standing Orders of this House. I stand guided. Land matters are very emotive. We cannot allow such regulations to be published without proper consultation. That is why I stand here to support this Motion. The nitty-gritties of electronic transactions are well-looked into. You wonder why land matters in most developed countries are still analogue. We are still grappling with ICT knowledge. Sixty per cent of Kenyans particularly the land owners are not ICT savvy. Once we introduce this, you can imagine the majority of Kenyans ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I am sure even these recommendations did not emanate from the Office of the Cabinet Secretary, but from somewhere. The Ministry is still ruled by cartels. Some of these regulations might have been brought purposely by someone who wants to benefit from somewhere. The constituency that is marred by land problems is Mavoko. Until the other day, 80 per cent of Mavoko land was not registered. Mavoko is in Machakos County, but 80 per cent of its title deeds are titled in Nairobi. That is why land matters were devolved in the new Constitution so that counties could address land ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. (Dr.) Pukose is a top-ranking Member of this House. He knows the politics of all parastatals and Government agencies in this country. Is he in order, therefore, to talk about KMC, which is in my constituency, and he knows very well how much money has been put there and how much money has been squandered by the same management whose board does not constitute any local in that factory? view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, sometimes we have to be very reasonable in this House. I am sure if KMC was in his constituency, maybe, he would be reasonable to ask the Jubilee Government that he serves. We have seen the KDF, who are supposed to buy from KMC, buying meat products from private entities and companies. view
