• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I found that it was a shorter thing, but it is okay. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. We have talked about reforms in this country for many years, but we have never effected them. We listened to the global trends, but we never did it. Land issues remained quite a big problem. There was the Ndung’u Report during the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government. Quite a number of issues were not sorted out until the last Parliament when we came up with some law on land issues. Again, we found the records were still a ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is not good to criticise the Chair, but given what you have said just now, from that point of view, then that kind of guidance should have been given before you came to that Chair. It would have helped. Even if we get two more Members now, you will still have so many remaining. That should be part of the House keeping business from your point. This Bill is very important. We have more than 42 communities in Kenya with very diverse cultural backgrounds. What they do with their land also differs. There are those ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Bill will help in the management of land. We are creating awareness in the minds of our people. We are also creating laws which are going to protect their interests and also protect their enjoyment of the land that they have. The issue of ownership and tenure should be addressed. I know many places in western Kenya where people have been living on land for years with their descendants, but when you want to transact on that land, you realise that they do not have title deeds. They just live there because of community interest. This law will be of ... view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I was told by the previous Speaker--- I came in much earlier and my card came off. He told me to put it there. I was supposed to speak even before. I do not know whether he briefed you when you came. He told me to put it on the intervention slot because my card came off when I was pulling these papers much earlier. The Clerks-at-the-Table are aware of that. I have just been sitting here waiting. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: No, I am not. I was a member of the other one. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: You are right, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Motion and also thank the President because we are dealing with a very complicated situation. We are dealing with a situation where there are multiplicities of things that are happening. We are supposed to be talking about growth and the people who should steer this growth. We have to start somewhere. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I believe that--- view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, earlier on, you said that Hon. Kabando is seasoned. There is another seasoned one. They have been standing there for more than 10 minutes. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I was just saying that the appointments in various sectors so far have been good because we are dealing with a major aspect of reforms, changes that are taking place not only here, but globally. As a nation, we have to align ourselves to what is going on out there. When you look at the Department which we used to call Labour and has been changed to Social Security and Services, it is very important in our social life. We have talked about how we can take care of the poor and the marginalised in this country, and it has ... view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: We have not recognised arts, culture and our talents. Kenya is one country that has not recognised its talents. We have the whiz kids in America. They came and performed here, but we did not recognise them. view
