• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this issue is very sensitive. In Nairobi, the problem is not prevalent in his constituency alone. We have people who have registered themselves as self-help groups, but their objective is to pretend to be squatters and take other people’s land by force. This is happening in many places. I promise that we will invite the hon. Member on Thursday. In this case, we want the Inspector General to report on what the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) and the District Commissioner are doing to address this matter before it escalates to other places. On the other issue, ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, that is a different matter. I am willing to respond to it with full details. I would like hon. Serut to officially request for a Statement and give us details. I know that he has a lot of information, having served as a Lands Officer in his previous life. So, he has a lot of information on land issues. So, I want him to put that request officially. I promise to bring an appropriate answer. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, that is not a point of order. It is a point of argument. I want to request my good friend, hon. Arati--- I do not live far away from where he comes from. We need to be very specific. I am just giving a report in general terms – that this problem is prevalent in most of our cities. Even in Mombasa and Nakuru, we have the issue of squatters who congregate and pretend that they are landless and end up taking land belonging to innocent people. So, if you have a specific issue, please, raise it. ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am very much in order. The Government has a list of genuine squatters, just like we used to have a list of genuine Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). We know this problem because we live in this town. There are people who masquerade as squatters. Some of them have parcels of land in other places. Those are well known groups. They are very common in Nairobi, especially in the former Embakasi Constituency, where the late hon. Mwenje used to represent. It is a strategy that people use to get money. People form groups of 50 and occupy ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the third Statement will be read by my Vice-Chair, hon. Lentoimaga. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the issue of Dandora rape cases by young people was actually raised by hon. Shebesh, just before we came from recess, and I think I gave her an appropriate answer. So, that has been issued and police officers actually have been advised to deal with that issue. In fact, up to and including some place 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
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: called Nigeria in Mathare where those cases are very common, we have told the Inspector General of Police and his team, especially the Provincial Police Officer (PPO) for Nairobi Area, to deal with that issue. However, on the issue of young boys waiting for people at night and mugging them, we have got reports about that and I want to promise that we are actually listing those issues. When we call the Cabinet Secretary and his team and especially the IGP, we will deal with it. That issue is very common especially in Tom Mboya Street, along Globe Cinema and ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is not true. I remember the last meeting two days ago, those who were in attendance were the Vice-Chairman, hon. Cheruiyot and hon. Dalmas Otieno. I got the report that I have this Statement to make and then I was mandated by the Committee to come and read it. I want to encourage them to be attending meetings. So, that was done and I will not go back. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, first of all, I would like to pass my condolences to those officers and to the people who were attacked yesterday in Wajir. As we still mourn the Westgate Shopping Mall massacre, it looks like the terrorists are determined to cause mayhem in this country. I want to confirm to the House that the Report will be here by Tuesday, next week. I know that most of the officers who are usually given instructions in order for them to respond are involved in the investigations of the Westgate Shopping Mall tragedy. So, we will provide the information ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: problem is now coming back. We will help them, as a Committee, and ensure that the Government takes appropriate action. view
