1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my reply, I said that some cases are already in court. In other cases, investigations are on-going and I hope that finally, when the cases in court end, they will be in favour of the schools so that we can take back the grabbed land. This is a menace that went around the whole country and not only in the said district; that, land belonging to schools and other public institutions has been grabbed. The Ministry of Lands is also working on the issue. So, I believe that the matter will be sorted out in ...

1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the due process of law must be followed. I do not think the hon. Member expects the Ministry to go and take the land by force. That is why the investigations are going on and other matters are already in court. We cannot break the law.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was enough information to show that KICC is public property. But in the meantime, as I have said, most public schools have never been given title deeds.

1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had said that most schools do not possess title deeds, and that is why we are telling the schools committees to apply. That is the only way to November 1, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3283 prove what land belongs to schools and which parcel belongs to the people around the schools.

1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, the process to get the land back to the school has started. But the hon. Member must allow the due process to take its course. We have 3284 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 1, 2006 said the land belongs to the school. Some matters are already in court and that is outside the Ministry's jurisdiction. As soon as the court process is over we will take action. With regard to other cases, investigations will be speeded up.

26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support Sessional Paper No.2 of 2006, on Gender Equality and Development. I would like to congratulate the Minister for finally bringing this Sessional Paper, which you agree with me has taken rather long. When the Beijing Conference was held, we ratified the adoption of a platform of action in this House. It has taken almost six years to work on the Sessional Paper on the National Policy on Gender. However, it is better late than never. My prayer and most the women's prayer is that it will ...

Thank you for being here, a few of you. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so that I can give others time to voice their views, I want once again to thank the Minister for finally coming up with this document, and to call on the Government to allocate money to implement this document. I also call on this House to make sure that it will be the custodian and watchdog for women and girls empowerment and development. With those remarks, I beg to support.
