• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to second The Law of Succession (Amendment) Bill, ably again sponsored by Sen. Halake who reminds us to move forward. She reminds us of the future and that we should forget about the past. This Bill was last done in 1981. That is before even the attempted coup of 1982. Several things have changed. Women have gone to school and gotten jobs. There are things that need to change. From 1981 to now, there are certain things that need to change in the area of succession and property ownership. This ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: tittle, you cannot access loans. Land provides a guarantee for some of the loans with which you can use to develop yourself and the community. Initially, in the law of succession of 1981, women were not even being allowed to make and prepare wills. They were not even allowed to challenge one if he does not adequately provide for them. In this new law, we are providing an amendment, so that now women are allowed to make a will. Now, the Constitution, 2010, has allowed women to inherit even land together with their brothers from their parents. Therefore, women now ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I indicated earlier, in the old law, widows would lose their right when they remarry. However, the same was not passed on to widowers. How crazy is it; that if a wife dies and the man remarries, and that wife had property, the man does not lose the right or interest in that property, yet he has remarried? However, a wife who remarries loses interest in her deceased husband’s property. That is not acceptable in the new era. We have heard that the Constitution 2010 prohibits laws, including customary laws that violate the Constitution. Female Genital ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the amendment that has been brought by this Bill also provides for the participation of county governments. Land is emotive. We have the chiefs at the lowest level. The headmen and now ward administrators and village administrators who understand the history of some of these land and succession disputes that drag on. By bringing on board the county governments to deal with some of these issues, we will reduce these disputes and enable our people access land and all the benefits that are related to land. This Bill, therefore, proposes for the creation of awareness and provision ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to speak on the Equalization Fund Administration Regulations presented by the Committee on Delegated Legislation, ably chaired by Sen. Faki. The Equalization Fund was set up in the Kenya Constitution, 2010, mainly to deal with the unintended repercussions of Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 that had been spearheaded by the late Tom Mboya. The administration of this Fund, initially under the First Marginalization Policy, had 14 counties. In the Second Marginalization Policy, we now have 34 counties. This Second Marginalization Policy has focused on certain sub-locations in these 34 counties. As ... view
