Sen. Ndiema Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to make a Statement on a matter raised by the Senator for Uasin Gishu County, Sen. Melly. I do not see him here. I seek your guidance.

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have another Statement.

Sen. Ndiema I have a statement that was sought by Sen. (Prof.) Lesan regarding Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) ---

Sen. Ndiema Okay, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Actually, I had three Statements to issue. The other one is for Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. He is not also here, but I will do it when they come.

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that this issue is pending. In fact, we stopped any further transactions on that land until we get the final answer. I promise that by Tuesday we should be able to give an answer. November 27, 2014 SENATE DEBATES Sen. NdiemaLet us...

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Speaker, Sir, we shall respond in two weeks. Okay, we get the answer in two weeks’ time.

Sen. Ndiema Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order on procedure. When we came in this afternoon, we found Order Papers as usual on our desks which contained the business of the day as provided for in Standing Order No.37. A little while ago, a Supplementary Order...

Sen. Ndiema Sorry, the Standing Orders. The Standing Orders happen to be the constitution of this House in terms of debate. Sorry, I withdraw. I discourage piecemeal amendments of our Standing Orders. We adopted them about a year ago. Therefore, by this time, we know where the shoe pinches. I...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to give my full support to this Motion and enjoin myself in the statements that were made by Sen. Musila, that Members should not be taken for granted. When reports are tabled, it is only fair that Members get possession of them before the Motion...

Sen. Ndiema Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Kwanza, ningependa kutoa rambi rambi zangu kwa familia, Wabunge, Seneti naviongozi wote wa CORD ambao wamepoteza shujaa wao. Kuna mwimbaji wa Tanzania ambaye aliimba wimbo unaoitwa kifo; anaitwa Remi Ongala. Alisema kama angejua kifo kitakuja namna gani angaliweza kukihonga. Kwa nini nasema...

Sen. Ndiemawas a community police unit. It was the chiefs who identified young people who could be recruited. These people had knowledge of the terrain, the local language and culture and knew each and every person within the community. These are the people who worked under the chiefs. Ideally, the...

Thank you, hon. Senators. I now propose the question. (Question proposed)

November 18, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

Government? But if they die or they are injured in the line of duty, they are left to cater for themselves.It has been said that a hungry man is an angry man. Therefore, it beats logic for the Government to supply the reservists with firearms and bullets then refuse to...

Sen. Ndiema Order! I have not given you the Floor. Sen. Kivuti, maybe you could answer to those three issues. (Laughter) Sen. Ndiema Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these plots were allocated---

Order! I have not given you the Floor. Sen. Kivuti, maybe you could answer to those three issues.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter took quite some time because we gave an answer to this House quite a while ago. Several additional clarifications were sought and that prompted us to make in-depth investigation into the two cases; both Chepchoina and Masongaleni. Now the good thing is that when...

sought now are not very serious.We got a presentation from Sen. Kittony about some people and now Sen. Nabwala is reporting that there has been some disquiet to the point of some people being killed. We know that in land matters, you cannot completely disquiet people. What was presented in...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that my Committee Member has already made a conclusion even before I finish the first sentence on what he requested for. The identity card numbers that the Senator is asking for are all listed in the report. There is the name, the identity...

I do not belong to your committee, but in what context do you want to know the area of residence of each allottee, so that we can know whether we are going to send it back? Sen. Ndiema Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has been a policy for the Government...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question being sought is now being changed because everything about the percentages of communities who were allocated land is contained in this report. However, I am aware that Sen. Ndiema needed further information on the identification cards. That is to say, the information which is...

It is true the information is all there, but he needed to know each person. Huyu alichukulia kipande kipi in which sub location. May be that is the kind of information he wants to know. I do not know where we are getting on this. The problem I have here...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Ndiema has made a claim that there is a Government policy that specifies that when this kind of land is being allocated, there should be a certain percentage going to the local community. I think it would be important that...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I need a clarification because it has been quite a while since this issue was raised and the plight of those people is wanting. I do not know whether I am in order to ask what their plight is. Are we...

Yes, because land is a very sensitive issue. If you have read the report, you know what I said, Sen. Kittony; that the report was tabled and I requested Senators to read it so that they can seek specific clarifications from it. What you are asking could be in the...

your question. I do not know about the policy that you raised or where it is, but on the issue of numbers, because I do not want us to dwell here to long, I will refer you to pages eight and nine of the report which talks about the people...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue and situations on minorities of this country in the management of their historical rights of land cannot be put under the table by ignoring the legitimacy of Sen. Ndiema’s question to know--- Order Sen. (Dr.) Machage! Who is ignoring...

I am coming to that. No. Who is ignoring the quest, is it the Speaker or the Chairperson of the Committee?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is being openly seen from the statement and the denial or total refusal of the Chairperson of that Committee to address a question that Sen. Ndiema has persistently asked in all the days that he has tabled that statement in this House. He has the...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support Sen. Ndiema because---

It is not a question of supporting, what is your point of order?

My point of order is; in the first paper that was tabled in this House, Sen. Kivuti had a Statement on the policy which said 60 per cent of land would be reserved for locals and 40 per cent was for foreigners. Why he is insisting on the ID numbers...

Mr.Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had actually put my request for an intervention earlier, but you have dealt with some of the issues. We have dealt with this issue and it has taken such a long time in the committee. We have had consultative meetings with other Members and the leadership...

Sen. Ndiema Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader. In doing what he did, he saved a situation. When you look at what is happening, it appears as if we are not respecting the President because we are sending Bills to him which...

Sen. Ndiema Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to add that on the same statement, he should state whether our police service is prepared and has been assisted to deal with incidences of this nature.
