• 12 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. On the matter that has been raised through the petition by hon. Neto, the Committee is ready to pursue the issue in accordance with the Standing Orders of this House. I undertake that we shall investigate the matter thoroughly and present a report to this House as deserved. On the matter of Muthanga Farm, when the hour comes, we shall also be able to contribute on the same because we have already laid our Report on the Table of this House. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The first response is for the Statement that was sought by hon. David Wafula Wekesa, Member of Parliament for Saboti Constituency. He sought to know:- (i) whether the Government has a database of all squatters in this county and if so, how many they are from Trans-Nzoia County; (ii) why the Government in its policy for resettlement of squatters, does not consider giving priority to squatters who originated in the areas earmarked for resettlement; (iii) when the Government plans to seek approval of Parliament to replenish the Settlement Fund to facilitate resettlement, and; (iv) plans by ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on hon. Wafula’s question or clarification on the issue of the database, indeed it is of great concern because there is no database at the moment and I have said it. However, I think it is one of the responsibilities that we have to push through as a Committee to make sure that this database is also provided for this country. So, I think it is a responsibility of this Parliament that we are able to get the data from the Ministry and from those authorities that be. view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On the issue of the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC), well it is an issue which has been noted with concern at the moment. As a committee, we could not dig deep into that because it was not part of the question. However, if it requires further interrogation, I will be able to take it up and maybe bring the list of those people who were left out by the ADC. However, certainly the talk is there that there are people who were left out and I think it is a matter that can be followed up later. view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On the question raised by hon. Wamalwa, on when data shall be availed, certainly that ties up with the first answer that I have given. So, I think I can follow it up to make sure that this one is speeded up. I am happy that hon. Wamalwa has noted that there is professional squatting all over the country and without this kind of a database, we cannot mitigate this problem. We should have even done this earlier so that at least we are able to finish up with the issue of the squatters. It should not be a recurrent ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On where the 48 schemes are, we know quite a number are in Trans Nzoia. I cannot name all of them at the moment but I know schemes like Chepchoina. So, it The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: should not be a big problem because those are things that are already documented. On the issue of where they come from, they come from Kenya. On hon. Dr. Pukose’s question, there are so many categories of squatters. One, there are forest evictees. They became squatters because they are not in their natural habitat. We have people who had been working on the ADC farms and they were left out, as hon. Wamalwa has pointed out. We also have people who were victims of historical injustices, who were chased out of their native land by the wazungus or the colonialists. ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On hon. Serut’s question, it is not the county governments that are supposed to purchase land for settlement of squatters or displaced people; it is the national Government. Indeed the Tenth Parliament was able to give that mandate to the National Land Commission (NLC). They are the ones who are supposed to provide that policy and the money is supposed to be provided from the Consolidated Fund and other donors. view
