• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. In replying, allow me to donate one minute to Hon. Wanjiku Muhia who wanted to say something burning, I will reply in a minute and then we will close. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. Just to add very quickly to the Member is that the question is one of the elected Senators, governors and elected Members of Parliaments. I am not sure whether FORD(K) and WDM have elected Members across the country. In reply, we want to thank all the Members who have made contributions to the mediated version of the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill. We thank the Members for their contributions and for accepting the mediated version and for seeing the objectives that were brought in through that amendment to expand democracy. This is to ensure that more parties get taxpayers’ ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: programmes, ideologies and parties that continue to strengthen our democracy. The more the parties get the political parties funding in a multiparty democracy the better. So, introducing a new criterion like we have done with the mediated version can only be good for this country and can only strengthen our democracy from strength to strength, especially after the 2010 Constitution that we continue to implement as a country. The Constitution is going to guide our democracy and our parties for more years. I beg to reply and beg to move that the Report be adopted. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support the Chair on that amendment that he has introduced relating to both Clauses 22 and 24 on the thresholds of the community participation that is required before a decision is made. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support the amendments proposed by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands. I especially support the registered community reserving the purposes for which land might be reserved. It is a good idea that most of them are captured including the cultural and heritage sites. It is going to be important for our communities to continue conserving cultural and heritage sites some of which are used for religious purposes. I want to support the amendments. Thank you. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by noting that I support the Land Laws (Amendment) Bill. Every law that comes to the Floor of this House comes in a certain form. It is our duty and task to make that law in the best form that we would like to see it leave this Chamber. In fact, a story is told that the making of law is similar to the making of sausages. You do not want to see what happens when sausages are being prepared; the only thing you want to do is to have those ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: law, of course, some of us oppose or do not support, but at the end of the day, as a House, we have to do our duty for this country. The duty that we have had on matters of land law demands that every House has to put its best foot forward. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: If you look at our Constitution and the chapter on Land, you will see a chapter that was postponed. It is a chapter for which we continue not to have all the answers. This is a chapter for which no single House is going to have all the answers. But the 11th Parliament will make a contribution on moving the country forward on matters of land law. It is a difficult debate. Some people have land while some do not have. That is the nature we find ourselves in. But each House of the 11th Parliament with no exception has ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We have come from a situation in which the country had over 150 pieces of legislation touching on matters of land. As we continue moving forward, it is important for the country to continue consolidating the laws that relate to land. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It was not fun. I can tell you that, for those of us who went to Law School, most students used to fail examinations on the area of land law. It used to be the biggest nightmare for any law student out there; the reason being the 150 pieces of legislation with different provisions and different matters. So, an attempt to consolidate land laws is an attempt that we have to continue with to make sure that as we revise our land laws, we reduce the number of legislations that relate to this question. In supporting the Committee and the ... view
