• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Well, if you want to call an honourable Member of this House an MCA, it is up to you. He is your colleague. It is very wrong. I am addressing the Chair. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the protection. The Member says that in 1987, Ololtoto was gazetted as the most ideal for use by the KDF. However, the area has been subdivided and is private land. So, even as we are speaking of a fragile ecosystem, our visit there, and if you look at the copy of the Kenya Gazette which is attached herewith…. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Member wants a clarification from the Chair of the committee. I am reading the Report as it is written. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The debate should be carried out in a sober manner so that we are all seized of the facts. From the facts we can decide whether we want our military to protect us or we pull them out. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I was on the issue of fragile ecosystems. When we visited the site, we found that all this land has been subdivided into individual parcels. In fact, if you look at the Report, it says that 570 acres are adequate for Phase 1 to set the initial base. However, those who hold the land from where we can get 570 acres have such land that is bigger than 570 acres. So, most of them said that they cannot divide their parcel to sell that which is required by the Ministry of Defence unless the Ministry takes the whole of it ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: So, as we speak, the land has been acquired and the military is there. We went to the ground and found people. They came and we sat at the altitude which the Ministry of Defence had chosen and they agreed. In fact those who had not been compensated at that time were saying we were taking them for granted. They wanted to be paid their money so that they could settle elsewhere. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: When we talk about the issue of the NEMA, the Report is here. It was done in February this year. It says the project has been given a go ahead subject to the conditions which they were to fulfil. These conditions have been fulfilled and the military has already relocated to that place. So, it is good to have those facts so that even as we debate, Members know exactly what we are saying. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to mention the issue of invitation of the leadership not once or twice. The Narok North Member of Parliament, who was opposing, came to the Committee. On the day that we went for public participation, we invited him and all the others to come with us. It is only the area Member of Parliament who came, and he had no problem. We had enough capacity to carry all those who would have wished to go. So, if they were not willing to come, what else would we have done? The Chair wants to ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Let me summarise and thank you for being kind. As part of their contribution, I want to just read what the Narok North Member of Parliament said and then sit down: view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: “As a community, they are not objecting to the acquisition of the earmarked 876 acres parcel of land and setting up of the military camp but should the Ministry of Defence wish to expand their foot prints, they should get approval of Parliament before they acquire more land.” view
