Hon. Speaker, thirdly, there is a provision to bring development to Ngomeni area. The term “development” is vague and unexplained. What constitutes development? I just pray and hope that the various arrangements given, for example: Tele-medicine, education and training; access to earth observation and space; science data; support of Kenyan Space Agency; and establishing of Regional Centre for Earth Observation, will somehow trickle down to the people of Kenya. Specifically, the question that we need to ask, and I do believe Hon. Owen Baya raised the same and many of us will raise the same… The extent, the quantum and ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. At the outset, let me state I support the amendments from the Senate, because they are very difficult people to deal with, so to speak. I have had an occasion to attend a mediation process and I even regretted why I accepted the invitation to go there. They are so inconsiderate in discussions.

As I support, we need to send a very clear message to the LSK. I hope they will not extend the double speak. When it favours them, they gladly take up the position.

On that score I support and urge my colleagues to let it go and let us complete this process for the support of this country.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the first opportunity after the Mover and the Seconder to contribute on this amendment Bill. The issues of land have remained emotive and will remain emotive for many years to come because land is the only reservoir for wealth that many Kenyans know. Indeed, after the inauguration of the new Constitution, we moved ahead to consolidate the various Acts of Parliament relating to land matters into one or two that were necessary following the Ndung’u and Njonjo-led Commissions Reports and other reports relating to land matters before then. I must take ...

If you closely look at Clause 3 (14) and (15), they are a mere duplication. I thought the Mover would be listening, but fortunately the Chair is listening. They are mere duplications. They are a duplication in the sense that the ultimate end game of a registration process is to issue a title or a certificate of title. So they are essentially a duplication. I hope and imagine that the Bill was drafted before we passed the Land Use and Physical Planning Act of 2019. We request that the Mover or the Committee move with speed to align the same ...
