• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the name of Mr. Njenga Karume is not an issue here. The land was bought from a company which might be associated with Mr. Karume. The process is still on--- view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member really wants to get to the bottom of this matter, I think he should go to the Ministry of Lands headquarters and carry out a search. He will establish that this is a private company which is a separate entity from the Member of Parliament. A company is separate from an individual. view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know how you tender for land. In Government financial regulations we have a provision for competitive bidding or single-sourcing. view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what an emergency is. The situation in Likia is an emergency so they deserve the land. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) There are 30 registered group ranches in Samburu District. (b) Abolition of fees for any registered land, including group ranches, can only be done with the authority of Parliament. In this case, Parliament is required to amend the Land Adjudication Act, Cap.284, and the Land Group Representatives Act, Cap.287, to abolish or waive payment of land adjudication fees by affected group ranches. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not practically possible to waive fees for over 30 ranches.

He is at liberty to apply for a waiver and we will sit down and consider his case. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of that presidential directive. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to thank Dr. Ojiambo for coming up with this very important Motion. I would also like to thank her for coming up with the Cotton Bill sometime last year. I think this hon. Member has been very prolific in terms of coming up with important Bills and Motions. I hope she will be the person of the year, next year because I know Ms. Ndung'u was the person of the year this year. Last year we had Prof. Maathai ... view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, protect me from Mr. Billow. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have offshore loans that are being given to the big guys in this country. Normally, offshore loans charge an interest of between 5 per cent and 6 per cent. The interest rates for the YEF should not go beyond 5 per cent. I really encourage Dr. Ojiambo to get a lot of information from the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh. There is a gentleman who recently won the Nobel Peace Prize for assisting the poor in Bangladesh. That programme has gone down to the nook and cranny in that region. If this information is accessed, ... view
