• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: As you know speculation does not account to any kind of production. People make money for doing nothing but only as a matter of time. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, coming up with a way where, for example, if your one acre is taken, then the Government will give you exactly one acre or any other acreage of land equivalent to the one they have taken is good. Also giving Government bonds and equity shares of Government entities is good because Government’s work is not just to give money to people whose land has been taken compulsorily. The Government also has an obligation to grow our markets. In the capital market there are bonds and shares and it is also the responsibility of the Government to grow this market. ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I have also noted that the notice given when the Government wants to take up land will be shortened because it will compensate for that short notice. Moving from 90 days to 30 days goes to accelerating the same promises we gave to our electorate of taking development to where they are. In the National Land Commission, as you know, there is a lot of collusion between the NLC officers and land owners. We have seen people colluding with land owners to benefit. For example, in this country if you have some land valued at Ksh10 million you can always ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, coming up with punitive measures on people who engage in these kinds of practices is very timely. I have some reservations on the formation of the tribunal. I have seen the composition as one person appointed from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), surveyors, Attorney-General and valuers. I tend to think we are creating a professional club. The biggest stakeholders of land in this country are the citizens whose land is being taken compulsorily. Therefore, from the outset, I think it is very good we include a person who is not a professional but has a clear mind with no ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Over and above that, I think in this country we have a habit of forming so many entities. In the land sector we already have a moribund NLC that has only succeeded in corruption. We actually have more land issues in this country since the formation of NLC than before. Today in this House we have just discussed, the SRC. They were meant to sort out matters in as far as the ballooning and increasing of the wage bill is concerned. We have more strikes and issues concerning salaries than even before its formation. We already have NLC as an ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Even beyond that what is fall back position? Can you appeal? I would want the Committee to put these kinds of sentiments. If you are not satisfied, with the judgement of the tribunal what is the fall back position and where will you appeal? Such matters ought to have been looked into. view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. For a start, I have to say that the number of workers in our counties has grown significantly after devolution. For us not to have a form of framework on how to look at their retirement benefits was wrong. Therefore, coming up with this Bill will go a long way in formalising the retirement benefits of this significant group of people. I am happy that the Committee has noted very clearly that the principal object of the Bill is to establish the County Governments Retirement Scheme as a ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: that it is the working class that takes the responsibility of the retirees. Therefore, giving them money after retirement mandatorily by deducting from their salaries now will go a long way in making them independent as respectable people who have served this country with dignity view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report by the Committee on Lands. I have to say that they have done a very holistic work that is very commendable. In fact, you would think they have investigative arms within the Committee. So Dr. Nyamai you have done a great job with your Committee and I support. Even as we talk about Ruaraka land that belongs to the two schools, I have to say that the corruption in this country has reached unprecedented levels. The kind of impunity we are seeing in our country has ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Beyond the Ruaraka land, we have more issues that we are dealing with in regard to corruption in this country. It is very clear that there was collusion and public money was lost in this transaction. More worrying is that the CS for Treasury and the Treasury itself went ahead to pay Kshs1.5 billion which was not budgeted for in this Parliament. It is very clear that the laws were flouted and the National Treasury did what ought not to have been done at that time. view
