• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. First, I would like to congratulate Hon. Simon King’ara for an excellent job. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I was saying, I thank the Member for Ruiru, Hon. Simon King’ara, for bringing this very timely Bill. One of the responsibilities we have as Members of Parliament is to deal with issues that affect the people who elected us to this House. Clearly, from his discussion, we can tell that this is a problem that is really affecting the constituency that he represents. I also thank the Leader of the Majority Party, who is also a former Minister for Lands. He shed a lot of light on these matters. Hon. (Dr.) Otiende ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: do not even know how much we can talk about this matter because there is no one who legitimately claims to own any piece of land anywhere in this country if one does not have a title deed because a title deed is the only proof of land ownership by law. We have a lot of public utilities in this country. We represent people and the public have schools, dispensaries, health centres and hospitals. All these amenities fall on public land. Unfortunately, a lot of our public utilities and institutions are still operating without proper titles. In fact, I would ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: However, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have only one question on this matter, which is what has been raised by a number of us, namely, the issue of public land in private development. You have your piece of land, you subdivide it and you are supposed to surrender. The surrender that you are supposed to do is for public amenities. Public amenities would be schools, hospitals, roads and such things. I am aware that a lot of times, developers create some of these as part of their own development. You come up with a housing development project but in there ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: is the land that goes to grabbers. So, it is important to figure out how we address this matter. If we are talking about surrendering land, why do we have to surrender it for public amenities when those public amenities are already put up? That is the fundamental question. That is why we are asking: How can you bring the public into private land? With those few remarks, I support strongly. I thank you. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to also pass this condolence message on my own behalf and that of the people of Kathiani in Machakos County. We have lost three leaders in quick succession in the recent past. Maybe this is a message from God that we need to learn some few things. First, we need to note that all of us will die one day and so when we are here let us be humble, respect one another, and also respect the dead. In the recent past, we have seen people fighting in funerals when people and families ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: that we can engage in politics. Right now, there must be people who are looking at this seat and even planning and strategizing, which is really an unfortunate thing. Finally, I like what Hon. (Dr.) Pukose has said. The Hon. Sen. Haji was Chair of the BBI. Maybe, in his remembrance, we should urge Kenyans to pass BBI in large numbers so that we can have good memories. I thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. I want to comment on the second Petition on the evictees who, from what I hear, are almost becoming squatters in their own region. 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
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: One of the biggest problems we have as a country is land. When you listen to that Petition, the provincial administration and the Ministry of Lands seem to be involved. Maybe as this Committee deals with this, they need to figure out exactly who should deal with matters of land. Is it the National Land Commission? Many people go to different offices seeking solutions. They spend a lot of time, energy and money, but they cannot get help. It is important to figure out who can handle this matter to its logical conclusion, so that these issues stop being a ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to make a comment on the first Petition by the Member for Embakasi. It is in the right place. On the issue of prisons, those are places that are set up to get rid of those people who, when they are in the society, do crazy things. Those are thieves, rapists and murderers. Those are the people who are sent to prison. In prisons, accommodation is paid for. Outside here, we pay for our accommodation. Their food is paid for also. Outside here, we pay for our food. Now, this Petition is saying that ... view
