Article 43(1)(b) is very clear on the issue of settling people. I want the Cabinet Secretary to note that we had former Buxton tenants who, in fact, brought a petition to this House. I am in the Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing. We agreed that these people should be resettled. They are 184 and they are to be given the first priority to be resettled in Buxton Estate. I would want the Cabinet Secretary to tell us if these people are going to be resettled. When are they going to be resettled? Could she give a commitment through this House for those people to come and sit with her and finalize this matter? The other issue I have is on rural housing. The Cabinet Secretary is aware that we passed the amended law, which has the component of rural housing. In her regulations, what is she going to do for those people who cannot afford urban housing and who want to settle in Marsabit, Isiolo, Wajir and all those places? How is she going to cater for all those people that can be settled in those areas? I thank you."},{"id":1398796,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1398796/?format=json","text_counter":151,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

Senator has been following on the issue of the tenants who had occupied the land in the Buxton project in Mombasa. According to the Senator, the tenants who occupied the land in Buxton Project in Mombasa are 184. I do not want to confirm that you can bring 184 people into my office. If they have leadership, then the leadership can visit me or you wait until when I will go to Mombasa. Perhaps, I can plan better by going to Mombasa and we deal with it at that level instead of them coming all the way to Nairobi. We can then see what issues are still remaining. However, in the meantime, those issues can be documented and forwarded to me through your office, hon. Senator, or through the leadership. I suppose these people have some leadership. Through their leadership, they can document the issues and send them to me. After looking at the issues, I will then decide whether I will visit Mombasa and have a meeting there. On the question of rural housing, this was a provision that this Senate found necessary in the Affordable Housing Bill. As a Ministry, our work is to implement. We are preparing the regulations. I believe the Senate will be part of that preparation. I may not be able to give a concrete answer because this will require us to examine materials, technology, the budget, how we manage in terms of economies of scale, and who and how do we deal with cases of the rural setup."},{"id":1398798,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1398798/?format=json","text_counter":153,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

There will be a need for a budget. We need to rationalise and see what is suitable. Whatever material that the Government puts money on, it must also be put in the building code that approves materials. The building code is coming to the House. Therefore, it is not an answer that you can get immediately, but it is something that we will all work on. Of course, we need to look at technology as part of the solution.
