• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I hope that one day we will be able to reverse the Supreme Court ruling which stated that the Division of Revenue Bill can also be considered by the Senate. This is a money Bill. Some of the rulings of the courts are, at times, unconstitutional. The only problem is that we cannot challenge them anywhere. The Judges of the Supreme Court cannot be elected by the people. Parliament is the House that can make laws to undo what the Supreme Court, at times, decides. The ruling that the Division of Revenue Bill should be sent to the Senate was ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. We are not looking for employees to be appointed for their first appointment. We are not looking for a chairperson of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. This is the Chairperson of the Board of KFS. If we were looking for a Chairperson of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, we would not require any qualification. I am speaking from authority. I have been a Director- General. It will be very unfortunate to have a Chair who is one year out ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support this proposed amendment. It provides for a roadmap within which a petition that is coming or emanating from any Kenyan that is dissatisfied with a particular process can be considered. This ensures that due process is guaranteed under the law. We do not want people to be treated in a whimsical manner. We are the representatives of the people and we have the power to alter or decide that a particular place shall be a forest and provide for the money to compensate the people. There must be ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: forests. This amendment targets parts of forests which had already been degazzetted through due process but titles have not been issued. I will give an example of my own constituency. We have two schools whose land has been degazetted but titles have not been issued. These are Ainabkoi and Soliat Secondary Schools. Also, the new Kenya School of Agriculture has been constructed in a forest. The Government has spent money. So, we are saying that where land has been degazetted and due process has been undertaken for public use and not for private use, titles should be issued. Private use ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not want Hon. Zuleikha to oppose the amendment on the basis of what is not true. The Supreme Court in its ruling in which the NLC made reference decided that it is the CS who shall issue title documents. It is no longer the NLC which has the power to issue title documents. The Supreme Court stated so. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. Of course, you know it was your Committee which was tasked with the responsibility of scrutnising this Bill. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It has something to do with indigenous knowledge, one that is very traditional. 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
