• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to contribute to this Report. I have looked at it carefully. On the face of it, this Report presents another very delicate issue, namely land for public purposes, that is for use by the Kenya Defence Forces, versus vested interest in private land. While that is on the face of it, it appears that there is more that is not on the face of it and does not come out clearly in the Report other than by latent inference. As Hon. Waihenya and others have mentioned, it appears that there are others ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: somebody. You do not compulsorily acquire what has reverted to the national Government. Does that mean that those who find themselves in that land over the decades can be disregarded? The answer is no. Article 40(4) is very clear. Those who found themselves occupying land in good faith, even without title, are entitled to compensation. We must be very analytical with regards to this. Does it mean that because they find themselves in that land then they are entitled to it? That is where we need to analyse very carefully. I have read the observations of the Committee. I have ... view

• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is not my intention to interrupt Hon. Mwadime while he is moving this Motion, but the Motion I have got from the Table Office does not seem to suggest all the good things he is talking about. This is in respect of two things.

Unless there is an amendment, which I am not aware and I will be happy to have it, it does not ... view

• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with your indulgence, could I reserve my right of speech to after maybe three or four people because I am combing the Bill thoroughly? Just shortly, in maybe 20 minutes. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have now combed through this Bill and it is a unique day because we have had to consider three Bills on pensions, two in the morning. I suspect most of us were not there, given the rotational nature of Parliament. We have considered one in the afternoon. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having considered this Bill, I stand to support it. First of all, it should be understood that one of the things that this Bill seeks to cure is an illegality. Until this Bill becomes law, any Member of the Senate who gets ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: . If you have served for two terms or more, you get more and that is fine. But, if you serve The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: for only one term, get what is due to you pro rata . There is nothing illegal about that. It is all very rational. In closing, the Mover will have to look into two things. One, is the question of transition. From when does this take effect? Does it mean that if it becomes law, then all of us make that election now as if we had made it at the beginning of our term or does it take effect in 2022? Secondly, in Section 9 that seeks to amend Section 8 (1) (b), it is Section 8 (1) (b) ... view
