• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 227 (2), this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the Petition submitted by one Maj. (Rtd) Joel Kiprono Rop regarding a proposed Comprehensive Constitutional Amendment Bill, referred to the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee by a further period of twenty one (21) days from 14th April, 2016. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: This Procedural Motion is informed by the fact that the Committee listened to several stakeholders. Some of them appeared before the Committee like the Boresha Katiba Initiative, view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Kenya, Punguza M izigo and several others. Our work was supposed to be complete on 10th April 2016. Because of the fact that we did much more than was expected, we request to be allowed to table the outcome of the Petition by a further 21 days. We will go for a retreat this evening to ensure that we prepare the report and present it before the House. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to move. I request Hon. ole Lemein to second. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like to allay the fears my colleague have raised. This is for the benefit of the community because you might find that land had been leased to a third party and the lease expires but by virtue of fruition of law, the land reverts back to the community. I think it is for the benefit of the community. I want to thank the Chairman for this additional provision. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is over-legislating. We have stated in some parts of this Bill that communities have a right to decide what activity should take place in specific parts of their land. This is not a good inclusion. The Departmental Committee on Lands has already taken care of that issue. I oppose. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to agree with Hon. Ngeno because from experience, I know that there are processes which are supposed to be followed in case disputes arise. People have been shown their parcels of land and the moment you revert it back to community land, you are going to start from the beginning. It is safe to take what is in the Bill. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Whereas I sympathise with Hon. Neto for trying to protect the pastoralists communities, the most dangerous thing is if we leave the definition at including “common ancestry” and “similar culture” and leave out aspects of geographical space. We will be saying that somebody who is a Maasai from Tanzania can come and take land of the Maasai in Kenya. A Somali from Somalia can come and take land in North Eastern. That way, we will bring complications. This amendment protects everybody and ensures that it is the right beneficiaries who get it. view
