• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: “The Committee may proposes to the House sanctions against any Cabinet Secretary who fails to report to the relevant Committee implementation status without justifiable reasons.” It should be on record that this land has had controversy. The issue is contained in the Report of the Departmental Committee on Lands. It is an issue that has been debated in this House. The beneficiaries of this land are poor people who were left this land by somebody known as Samuel, who is since deceased. Somebody attempted to take this land through unorthodox and unlawful means. The land was surrendered back to the ... view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: My simple argument is that this particular CS has been problematic as far as land issues are concerned even in Narok and elsewhere. She just does things against the law and if we allow this behaviour by this CS, this Parliament will be doing nothing. Parliament is taken for granted. Nobody takes it seriously. I think my colleague, as a Member of Parliament of a particular constituency, should also think about the plight of these poor people. My take is that the Report should be taken as it is. If the House approves, there will be steps to be taken ... view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: He is not referring to the Committee on Implementation. It is PIC. I do not want somebody to take it wrongly. He is not talking about us.

• 19 May 2022 in National Assembly: Just to give a background, the Petition was made by Phillip Njuguna on behalf of the Kandara Residents Association regarding regular renewal of leases by Del Monte Kenya Limited that was presented to the House on 11th June, 2019. The Petitioners claim to be the original owners of the land presently occupied by Del Monte Kenya Limited but were illegally displaced and the land leased to the company. They were aggrieved that Murang’a County Government had renewed the leases of the company without first involving the public, as required by Section 13 of the Land Act, 2012. They also claimed ... view

(ii) ... view

This was actually for the benefit of the people who were left on the farm by someone else; (ii) The Directorate of Criminal Investigations investigates the officers in the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning who may have caused loss of public funds by effecting fraudulent transactions relating to LR No.5875/2, and the Director of Public Prosecutions prosecutes any person found culpable within 90 days of tabling of the report; and, (iii) That the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning secures the title relating to LR No.23393 with a view to ensuring ... view
• 19 May 2022 in National Assembly: tabling of the report pursuant to Article 152(6) of the Constitution of Kenya and Standing Order No.66 of the National Assembly Standing Orders; (ii) The Inspector-General of Police should ensure that the DCI investigates officers in the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning who may have caused loss of public funds by effecting fraudulent transactions relating to LR No.5875/2, and submits a report to the National Assembly within 60 days of the adoption of this Report. This is a very important Report. It actually shows how ordinary Kenyans are pressed and their rights trampled on. Historical injustices are still continuing. ... view
• 19 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think I heard my colleagues talk about them: they had actually, discussed it. We are not talking about the removal; something must be understood. This is provided for under Standing Order No.209 (3) which provides that: “The Committee may propose to the House sanctions against any Cabinet Secretary who fails to report to the relevant Select Committee on Implementation status without justifiable reasons.” Parliament gave results; actually, the beneficiaries of Samuels land had gone to the extent of paying for their titles. The Cabinet Secretary had, on several occasions, continuously, and successfully refused or neglected ... view
