• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to the House that six land control boards in Samburu District were gazetted in the year 2005 vide Kenya Gazette Notice No.8441 of 21st October, 2005. The areas that were involved include Baragoi Division, Ewaso Nyiro, Loroki, Kirisia and Wamba. The names were not published because the local District Commissioner then had not forwarded the so-called comprehensive list. The issue of the comprehensive list comes in because we did not get names from certain divisions and we are waiting for them so that we can do gazettement appropriately. We will consider the ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to state that the Estate Agents' Registration Board has not been operational, as I said, since the end of 2005 because the appointment could not be made due to a legal requirement under the Estate Agents Act, Cap.533, Schedule 1(a) to (e). I want to point out that Schedule 1(e) states:- "One member shall be a nominee of the Attorney-General and who the Minister shall appoint among others." So, the Attorney-General's nominee was not forthcoming despite repeated reminders until early this July 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2767 year. We have now received the name, and ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been answering this Question about the land control boards and the land tribunals for quite sometime. I have pointed out that we have a shortage of funds. We are given by the Treasury funds that are not sufficient. I want to confirm that we are liaising with the Treasury, even through the Supplementary Budget, to ensure that the funds are availed. This is an issue that is really distressing. Many hon. Members have brought complaints to our office and we have not solved this problem. However, once we get enough funds from the Treasury, ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have stated earlier that we gave the Attorney-General's office so many reminders. We got this information very late. I think I have said that we have done the needful Thank you. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have concrete policies in the Ministry. We have several Acts that we are implementing, which were passed by this House. On the issue of funding, we have come up with a policy that ensures that all land tribunal or land control board members hold one meeting, at least, twice or thrice a year. Most of the members are retirees and they are fond of going for meetings to get money even when there is no work. So, we have come up with a policy of restricting the number of meetings. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was a policy of the previous regime and it was meant to overburden Kenyans. It is not in our policy to overburden Kenyans. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that Mr. Lesrima will be assisted. The land board for his district will be gazetted. I am going to give it my personal interest because the hon. Member is also my neighbour. But on the issue of the other side coming to power, I think that is pipe dream! Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view

• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to the hon. Member that my answer is July 24, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2683 not shallow. It is very comprehensive as far as my Ministry is concerned. Again, I want to confirm to him that the current status of this scheme is that we are trying to compile the names of allottees. That job is being done by the Nyeri Municipal Council, together with the Provincial Administration. Once we are through, I will personally go there and issue title deeds as I did about six months ago in that constituency. view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not collecting rates from those people. We are only collecting rates from the people we issued title deeds about six months ago. view
