• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that my Ministry has not deployed a Land Officer, Land Registrar, Land Surveyor and Valuer at the Butere/Mumias District. (b) Once adequate and secure offices are established, I will post the officers to that particular district. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this particular Question was deferred because we had not received sufficient information. The information that we have now is actually what we wanted to get from the ground. I am aware that this particular district has actually stayed for nine years without getting those particular officers, but this situation is not only applicable to that particular region. We have many districts which are being served from neighbouring districts because of financial constraints. So, we are going to work very hard to make sure that we get finances to establish those offices. So, I would like ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I am not aware that Mbeere District got independence from their neighbouring brothers, Embu District for over ten years now. I am only aware that they were given a new district and that quite a number of officers were posted there. But Land Officers were not posted there because it was found prudent that these services be actually provided from Embu District. But, nevertheless, we are going to draw a programme that will take care of all the new districts that were created at that time by the previous regime and the new districts ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to confirm that this Government was not in disarray during the referendum period, because the referendum is provided for by the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC) Act and it was carried out in accordance with the provisions of that Act. So, the issue of officers being posted in the next financial year will be subject to availability of funds from the Treasury. But we will work very hard to ensure that Butere/Mumias District is given priority, because I know that, that district is very populous and requires those services. Thank you. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: First, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to the hon. Member that this Government has been in existence for only four years. I also want to confirm that this Government did not create Mumias/Butere District. It was created by the previous regime. So, that question is actually misdirected. Nevertheless, we know that the previous regime did not do it, 4164 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 6, 2006 but we will do it once we have adequate resources. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, those are not my words. Those are hon. Bifwoli's words. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Bumula said that we have refused to post officers there, and this district has been in existence for over ten years. I said that we are willing to post officers there once we get adequate resources. The issue of saying that this question has been misdirected, I think that I told the hon. Member that, that decision was supposed to have been made by the previous regime. But since they failed to do that, we are going to assist that district. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a request. I wish to assure the hon. Member that, first of all, we will liaise with the Public Service Commission (PSC) to make sure that this issue of the newly-created districts is addressed in as far as the posting of those officers is concerned. But for the case of Butere/Mumias District, we will explore that possibility and post a surveyor there very soon. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government will issue title deeds for Mwea Trust Land in Mbeere District when cases pending in the High Court, Nairobi, against Embu County Council and the Government are finalised. (b) The remaining part of the trust land, commonly known as "scheme", will be demarcated and allocated to people when the cases pending in the High Court, Nairobi, against the Embu County Council and the Government are finalised as they affect the whole of Mwea Trust Land in Mbeere District. view
