20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have stood several times here but thank you because I have caught your eyes. I have two issues to raise. First, I want to congratulate the Minister. It was a very good calculation that the Government thought it wise to bring somebody who has banked his life and everything that he has in livestock. The problem of allocation of funds to this Ministry is something which is shocking. We have been shocked to see the amount of money which has been allocated to the Ministries of Agriculture and Livestock Development. These are the areas ...

11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Vote of Ministry of Housing. Let me start by talking about owning a house in a town or urban area, which is a very, very important thing. There is nothing as important as owning a house. But the laws and policies that are in place are prohibitive and restrictive to owning a house. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to thank the Minister for preparing what he has said is now before the Cabinet. But when it comes to this House, we shall ...

5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly:
THAT, aware that the Government has granted leases for land in settlement schemes ranging from 99 to 999 years and freehold titles to others in the same localities; appreciating the need to harmonize land tenures in the same area; this House urges the Government to adopt a uniform land title policy and converts all the leases for agricultural settlement schemes to freehold titles to facilitate enhanced agricultural output.

5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in moving this Motion, I would like to say that land is the source of most of these problems in this country. During the colonial era, this country was a British Protectorate. It was declared British Protectorate on 15th June, 1895. In the process of wanting to acquire and possess land in this country, the rulers at that time enacted some Bills. There was the Crown Lands Ordinance of 1902 and the Crown Lands Ordinance of 1915. These pieces of legislations still haunt us today, 45 years of Independence.

5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, most of the problems that we have in this country are brought about by land. The Ministry of Lands which is charged with the responsibility of management of land in this country is working at a slow pace in demarcating land in pastoral areas where there are chunks of land.

5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly:
In some areas, people have different land leases. Some have a lease of 99 years while others are freehold. There is no uniformity in the land policy in this country. This has led, not only to the reluctance of farmers to produce more food to feed this country, but it has actually brought some problems even among the neighbours. This has contributed to corruption even in the Ministry. Nobody knows exactly what is happening. This Motion is trying to bring out the concerns of freehold. Most agricultural land is

Thank you, very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this time that you have given me. Let me also join others by supporting the Vote of this Ministry which is very important. First of all, let me thank the Minister and his entire team for coming to Marakwet during the time when we had problems in Embobut Forest.
