• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: The basis of this Motion is that while we were in Naivasha with the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC), these were the rafts of amendments that we had agreed on this Chapter. Unfortunately, they were reversed by the Committee of Experts. The basis of the amendment that has been proposed here is that we must identify community land in a specific manner and give it sufficient protection, so that marauders and land grabbers do not access community land and abuse it. I think there is merit in us giving constitutional basis for land dispute settlement, in the rural areas. Many community ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member should take time to understand the import of the amendment before he makes a contribution that is completely irrelevant and has no direct basis on the proposed amendment in question. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. If we truly want to give meaning to devolved governments, we must not at the same time deprive them of the means to create sufficient resources to make meaning of the devolved governments.

• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this amendment. We agreed to these amendments through consensus in Naivasha.

• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As you may have noticed, there is a small group of Ms. Karua, Mr. Imanyara and Dr. Khalwale which has made about 100 trips in and out of this House. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in solidarity with them, because they have demonstrated a lot of zeal, I want to request that you direct the Sergeant-at-Arms to provide for them permanent seats outside, so that they do not have to keep on coming in and going out. view
