• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I thank the Leader of the Minority Party for acknowledging a clear fact that the Bill before us came earlier than the Government-sponsored one. First of all, may I take this opportunity to thank the Member for this Private Bill because we have always been encouraged by you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to bring Motions that can help us and also make laws in this country. Under Standing Order No. 141(2)(b), you know for sure that if we do not discuss and debate this Bill, at the end of this year ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me thank the Committee for the wonderful and well-done Report, which is as a result of the visit they made. It is an eye opener. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Land in this country has become a source of conflict. It has become a curse instead of a blessing. Relatives, brothers and sisters kill one another every time because of land. Issues of land are historical. If we go to the Bible, the source of conflict that is profound is on land matters. The major issue which we have in this country is that our courts are chocked with many cases on land disputes. Most Kenyans do not understand how to go about land matters. The laws, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: provisions and regulations on land matters have also become an impediment, especially on succession, land buying, transfers and conveyancing. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The third issue of concern is the subdivision of land in Kenya. Land that is highly productive for food is now being turned into land for dwellings. If we do not check it early enough, we will have a problem on where and what is viable on land use. It is now being turned the other way round. Land for food production is being turned into real estates. The challenge in this country is planning activities on our farms, countryside as well as urban areas. If we do not plan our land, cities and municipalities, we will have a challenge ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I urge Kenyans with land disputes to look for different ways of resolving them. The courts may not be the right place to resolve some of the land issues. It is better to consider other mechanisms of sorting out land disputes because it will make the process faster and will also bring harmony. I prefer those who live in a particular area and understand the history of a given land to be given the full mandate to arbitrate, especially on matters to do with community land, trust land and land sales that have become an issue. For ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Let me thank the Committee for this Report. However, I expect more to be done by sensitising our communities and Government officers to be more responsible and respect the sanctity of title deeds. They should honour all the processes that may have been done. Any land that may have been given out unprocedurally should be repossessed in a proper and humane way. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. I want to thank my Chair and fellow Committee Members who got an opportunity together with me to travel and investigate what is ailing our foreign missions abroad so that we can deliberate today. From the outset, the Member who has just spoken has said that the Committee did not give recommendations. I request her to get the document because there are recommendations attached to the main Report. It is good for her to go through it so that she can apprise herself with the ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: advantage of opportunities. Kenya needs to be marketed by all of us, our leaders, athletes and tourism sector. It is my pleasure to have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, diplomatic missions and embassies accorded support in order to enhance our position as a country that is very strong in Africa. Surprisingly, when we visited Austria, a country as small as South Sudan owns an embassy there, yet it is very young. However, we pay rent for ours and we are the mother country which recently helped South Sudan attain independence. When we spoke to the mission staff we become heartbroken. ... view
