• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: disappointed if time lapses before the Petition is presented in this House and they are not given a chance to be heard. Secondly, the issue of historical land injustice, more or less, seems to fall within the purview of Article 67(2)(e) of the Constitution of Kenya, which donates those powers to the NLC. I am sure, and all of us know, that the outgoing NLC has not lived up to its mandate. I urge the Committee of the House in charge of land and related matters that, as they seek to constitute a new NLC, special attention needs to paid ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the two Petitions. The spirit of the first one is the issue of historical injustice which should be within the purview of the National Land Commission (NLC). However, because the former NLC was preoccupied with compensations and there were massive cases of corruption, it forgot one of its key mandates. However, it is important that the directors of land buying companies be brought to account for the activities in respect of the processes leading to the allocation or allotment of shares to respective members. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: On the second one, the Constitution, under Article 41, is explicitly clear about depriving a private individual interest or right in property without following due process. Based on international best practices, whether they built the property as an illegal structure or not for as long as there is demonstration that, indeed, the property was duly approved and allowed to be constructed, demolition should not proceed until just compensation has been made for the built environment.

• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Specifically, demolitions are an indication of a systemic failure on the part of City Hall or whichever authorities in question which approve building plans. It is also failure on the part of professionals in the built environments, especially the architects who do not countercheck the alignments of the wayleaves before they design and supervise construction. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I support and will seek to give my contribution during the hearing of the Petition. I thank you, Hon. Speaker view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me weigh on this matter. My comments will be brief and restricted to three issues. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: First, as much as the framers of the Constitution had good intention, there is a very high possibility that any other bad President would definitely misuse Article 115. However, it is in our Constitution and we must live with it. I join my colleagues to echo the sentiments that the President should use it judiciously and in the best interest of the people of Kenya. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, it brings into question the process of law making and whether it involves adequate amount of public participation. Probably, the sentiments of the Committee that handled this matter received adequate representation from the public. They may have alluded to the fact that the amendment as proposed by the President could as well hurt the general business and so in that event, we must again look at how we can remedy the situation. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thirdly, I totally agree with the reservations by the President. I say so from two obvious points. One, the agent’s relationship involves the principal and the client. It is the principal who is liable and responsible for the risks or the contract he or she is assuming. The agent merely acts The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: as an agent of either parties and, therefore, cannot purport to hold any property or any rights in respect or on behalf of either the insured or the insurer. So, in this event, I do not think the amendments proposed by the President will kill the agency relationship and the brokerage business unless we are assuming that the brokers have been receiving income other than the commission that is due to them. In any particular respect, take the example of an estate agency. One receives payment for sale, but in the name of the seller and not the agent. view
