• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: THAT, considering that the arable nature of the disputed land makes it the bread-basket of Isiolo and residents have been practising small and large-scale farming, the impeding eviction would disrupt their economic activity, subjecting them to impoverishment and create conflict over the resources; THAT, the land was also identified as part of the Vision 2030 Government Blue Print and currently, an abattoir constructed by the Ministry of Livestock is operating on the disputed land; THAT, both the county and national governments have heavily invested in infrastructural developments on the land, including two dispensaries, three boreholes and two dams that provide ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I want to quickly respond to the sentiments of the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations that Members of Parliament do not read Committee Reports. He has withdrawn the sentiment. We have the Report here. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I also want to join my colleagues who have contributed to this debate and say that I oppose the Report. I do not oppose it based on the contributions by Members; I oppose it as a victim of illegal acquisition of land by the Government under the pretence of development. Isiolo County, which I represent, is one of the counties that are seriously affected by illegal acquisition of land, specifically by the Ministry of Defence. We have two military battalions in Isiolo County yet we suffer all manner of insecurity, ranging from radicalisation to cattle rustling. We suffer yet we ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Public participation is a constitutional right. It has been raised in the Report by the residents of Narok County that no public participation was done. It is on page 1 of the attachment. It is clearly written that there was no public participation. We listened to Members of Parliament from Narok County, including the able County Women Representative of Narok, who stood and said that there was no public participation. We cannot be told of public participation where people met in a hotel and made a decision, the way counties pay people to purport to be involved in public participation. view

• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we were told there was no public participation by the two Members from Narok County. Therefore, if Members were not involved, we assume the possibility of the ordinary people being involved could be nil. We, as communities hosting the military, have suffered massive losses and torture. If I am dared to substantiate, I can bring to this House reports of women who were raped by military officers who live in those counties. Massive pieces of land have also been grabbed without compensation. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. I think Mhe. Mabongah wanted to support my sentiment that, indeed, there was no public participation. From the Report, there was objection from the community in as far as due diligence was concerned. From the Report, there was a concern and letters were written to the Committee by the affected communities for failure to undertake a proper feasibility study on the environmental impact. There was a concern raised about interference of the ecosystem of the Maasai Mara. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
