• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Community Land Bill (National Assembly Bill No.45 of 2015) and approved the same with amendments. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I agree with the Committee. We are the ones who suggested that we include the negotiated settlement. This is because the normal market value may not include places for ceremonies. So, the price cannot be fixed by market forces. So, the community is included throughout the Bill because more than two-thirds of the community must agree on anything. So, it is for the benefit of the communities. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to state that I oppose this amendment. The Bill is very clear that it is about community land. It defines who a community is, which includes the family. We might encounter what we encountered in the group ranches whereby a family registered a group ranch in its name and disinherited the other families. So, I think it would be safer for a community to remain as it is and not to fragment it into small units because it will be risky. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Like my colleague who has just spoken, I agree with all the other issues but there is an issue that must be looked at but I do not know how we will do it. It has to be reintroduced; that is 3(f). You are, again, giving power to the national Government and the county government when it is supposed to be a community decision. It is a matter of just doing away with part of the sentence so that it reads: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view

• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. In fact, all the changes are very good except the issue of giving authority to the national Government and county government to decide any other purposes that community land may be useful. It is totally unconstitutional and illegal. As he did with the other ones, it is just a matter of cutting out “respective County Government or National Government for the promotion or upgrading of public interest.” That will be the best. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Community Land Bill, No.45 of 2015 up to Clause 21 and approved the same with amendments and seek leave to sit again. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like to advise Members that the Third Schedule is notifying the House of gazetted forests. Removing any of the gazetted forests does not degazette it. It shows the degazetted areas. Clause 33 is supposed to be used and any Member who is purporting to remove this is acting in futility. It is actually showing the public that we do not know what we are doing. There is no way anyone can remove it from the Schedule. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also support that amendment because it is more meaningful to the ordinary person that they own that community land. So, I support the Committee. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment. As my colleagues have said, we need to look at the whole Bill. It will be prudent we let him have his application rather than working on some of them in bits. view
