I have withdrawn my amendment on that because I have been made to understand that “settlement” also includes community land.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “for which it is held” and substituting therefor the words “traditionally entitled to or resident on the land”. The County Government holds a register on Clause 6(1). My recommendation or amendment to it is “traditionally entitled to or resident of the land” be included. This is because we have traditional owners of land and if they are not included then they will be vulnerable. They will not have an opportunity to protect the land where they buried ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in Sub-clause (2), the provisions suggest that an instrument may be registered in accordance with some law other than the community land law. That is the issue. I propose to amend it by deleting the words “any other written law” so that disposition of community land can only be in accordance with the Act.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Anti-Doping Bill. As the Vice-Chairperson of this Committee, we were in Mombasa and as my Chairman has already said, we have been very committed to ensuring that this Bill comes before this House. From 2005 when this anti-doping issue started, Kenya did not enact any legislation to ensure that our sportsmen and sportswomen are safe.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to congratulate and thank the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Arts because in three years, they have been able to put the policy together, looked at all international standards, complied and ensured that this Bill was brought to Parliament. Lack of this legislation has exposed our athletes, sportsmen and sportswomen to many dangers. If we had this piece of legislation that early, we would not be dealing with some of the health issues that we have been discussing here in Parliament. We know that a number of athletes have died because of these ...

because even running is income generating. Many of them have been barred from participating in any of these sports because of using these drugs. If we pass this Bill, this legislation will protect Kenyan sportsmen and sportswomen. We know that we are the world champions and many countries out there that we are competing with are not very happy because we have been taking all the gold medals. We have had the great name of our nation and our flag flies very high. There is a lot of pressure from the other countries to ensure that Kenya does not participate ...
