• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to reassure the hon. Member that, indeed, the Government will not force anybody to settle where he or she does not want. So far, we have already resettled 200,000 IDPs. We did not force them. They were given a chance to choose where they want to go. That exercise has been carried out successfully. They have already settled in places of their choice. There is no single case as at now where anybody has been forced to settle where he does not want to. I want to reiterate that people will be resettled peacefully ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I have said again and I will repeat to the hon. Member that this exercise of resettling the IDPs is a matter which has to be handled with care. Where we do not have specific information, we cannot just go and say: "Simply because so-and-so has detected that there are IDPs, we should go and resettle them." As far as the hon. Member's case is concerned, I said that my officers are going with the profiling exercise. Once adequate information is given, we shall continue doing what we are doing with the rest of ... view
• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the Presidential Speech. For those who do not know me, my names are Mohamud Mohamed Ali, the Member for Moyale. Whenever I introduce myself as the Member for Moyale, quite a number of people ask: Is it Moyale Central, North or East? For your information, Moyale is one district and one constituency. So, there is no Moyale North or Central. That is just for the record. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me from the outset to congratulate you for being elected to the March ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. November 22, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3857 Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, although the intention of this Motion was overtaken by events, but because of the spirit on both sides of the House and the importance of the Motion, the Government supports the Motion. It supports the reclamation and irrigation of Yala Swamp jointly by the LBDA and the DFL through public/private partnership as it aims at addressing food sufficiency, poverty reduction and employment creation. Hon. Members are aware that these policy objectives are clearly spelt out in the Government's Economic Recovery Strategy Paper (ERSP) as well as the Strategy for ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Members of Parliament are community representatives. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also would like to report that the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources, which you are the chairman, visited the project some time last year. The Committee met me and my officers while at the project. I am happy to report that the Committee has really supported us and we will continue working together. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I wish to assure the hon. Members that the Government is satisfied with the implementation of this important project. The above committees will continue working ... view

• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that Kirinyaga district and its environs is a very important conservation area. The district supplies water to the dams downstream River Tana. Right now, TARDA does not have adequate funds with which to do what the hon. Member has asked. However, we are trying to source funds to ensure that we conserve the forest and the catchment areas of the rivers that flow from the area. view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have the figures, because that is a separate Question. But I would like to inform the House that it is very critical for us to have a lot of conservation efforts in the whole of the River Tana area and its tributaries, including the sources. As I had said earlier, we do not have adequate funds. Right now, as you are aware, KenGen has taken over some of the generating assets of TARDA and Kerio Valley Development Agency (KVDA). We are trying to negotiate with them to ensure that those two agencies ... view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not true that TARDA has no funds. They have funds for their other operations. As I said earlier, their main source of income was electricity generated from the local dams, namely Masinga and Kiambere, and because these generating sets have been given to KenGen, negotiations are at an advanced stage to ensure that TARDA gets about Kshs360 million annually for their work. view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the project studies were done a long time ago and the objectives of some of them were achieved. For example, the first one, Kibirigwi Irrigation Scheme, is operational and about 300 farmers are already benefitting from that project. I think that Kshs8.3 million is adequate and reasonable for a study. view
