• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also take the opportunity to join my colleagues to convey my condolences to the bereaved family. I have no words to describe the character of the deceased. I vividly recall the very nationalistic and patriotic advice the late Michuki gave political leaders at Ihura Stadium when we went there for a prayer meeting. The late John Michuki was a very eloquent and dependable leader. The Kenyan nation has lost a true friend. The gap that he has left is immense. The agony that we will feel for the loss of this person will ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this very critical legislation and say that the new Bill will address the very serious concerns that Kenyans have voiced for a long time. We have noted sporadic violence in the country for many years, and people have already lost their lives; there has been displacement of the populations and even loss of livelihoods. You also realize hatred against clans and communities has been a common feature in this country. Therefore, this legislation will stem, or contain, some of these problems and bring about sanity, harmony and sobriety ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. In supporting this Bill, I would like to start by thanking the Minister for the thoroughness he has displayed in the preparation of this Bill. The Minister has also displayed a lot of knowledge in this critical Bill not forgetting the recently held seminar in Mombasa. The time was well spent and we learnt quite a lot. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On corruption, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to state that before the Minister took the lands docket, there was breakaway corruption at the Ministry. I would like to thank him for the gallant fight he has staged on this vice. I would urge him to move on with the reforms in the Ministry in order to realize better results. I also wish to recognize the intention by the Minister to visit my constituency sometimes in March to release green cards that have been held by the Ministry for the last 20 years. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On new registration, it is a law that will address some of the serious issues facing our country. We have seen pupils in our primary schools demonstrating against their land being grabbed. We have seen universities like Kenyatta University and the University of Nairobi which have lost their land to grabbers. Even churches have not been saved this vice. Road reserves have also been destroyed. Even the airport land has been interfered with. The congestion of motor vehicles which you see in Nairobi would have been solved if some of the roads that have been taken and blocked by land ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Revocation of title deeds is a key element on this new legislation. I would urge the Minister to make sure that the Ndung’u Report that has dwelt on the illegally acquired land is given due attention and its recommendations implemented immediately. I note with appreciation the new development on digital system that will be introduced in the counties. This development will address the issue of fake title deeds and the double allocation of title deeds. Fraudsters, tricksters and conmen will be jobless once this new process is put in place. My big concern has been what has been happening with ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On the introduction of boards in the 47 counties, I would suggest that senior registrars be retrained. I would also recommend some vetting, so that the vice on corruption is not carried over to the new counties. Vetting of registrars, deputy registrars and even county registrars must be given due attention. On absentee landlords in the Coast region, these people have not been known for the last 100 years and our people have been sitting on this land. Why does the Government not institute land commissions to take this land and give it to the jobless in that region? It ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that with the passage of this legislation, the scramble for land in urban and rural areas will be a thing of the past. I note with disappointment that from the emergency villages in 1952 and 1953, we still have people living on the roadsides. These people must be settled. The person to settle these people is the Cabinet Secretary in this docket. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I hope that the Minister will take a very conclusive measure to make sure that the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who are currently living in worn out tents, are given their right. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support the Bill. view
