• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Lands the following Question by Private Notice. November 11, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3329 (a) Is the Minister aware that thousands of wananchi in Kangemi's Dam Village, Nairobi, are currently homeless after they were evicted by a private developer from Plot Nos.22767 and Lr.22768 (off Waiyaki Way)? (b) Who is the legal owner of those parcels of land? (c) What urgent steps is the Minister taking to solve the dispute considering that the squatters, the developer and the Veterinary Animal Research Department have all laid claim to the plots? view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to lay on the Table the following documents. The first one is a document by the affected families, a petition to the Minister for Lands, about the matter in question. The second one are two video tapes showing how the police went to this village and brutally evicted these people. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House how many sets of title deeds are there? The so-called Aberdare Engineering Limited has got two title deeds. There are 16 title deeds belonging to influential Kenyans, some of whom are serving Members of the Cabinet. Could ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister probably does not see the weight of this problem. It is not a laughing matter! These people were lifted from Molo during the clashes of 1990. They were brought by the PC and settled there for five years until Aberdare Engineering Limited applied to be allocated this land. In their letter, which I have here, Aberdare Engineering Limited said they wanted to put up an industry. To date, that industry has not been put up. I have the latest returns from the Nairobi City Council showing that Aberdare Engineering Limited owe the Nairobi ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to look or sound malicious. The Assistant Minister just refused to take this Question seriously. If he had done that, he would honestly have found that we have plot Nos. 22767 and 22768, which are under the Aberdare Engineering Limited. He would have found that plot Nos.21080 until number 18 belong to the November 11, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3331 individuals that I am talking about. Do you really want me to humiliate you further than this? Do you? view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister does not seem to realise that by humiliating him, I meant in the collective sense with his colleagues in the Cabinet! One of the Ministers went and harassed the District Officer (DO), who is watching these proceedings at the moment! She gave him two Administration Police officers with guns to go and attack these people, the majority of whom are from the hon. Bifwoli's community in Western Province. Hon. Bifwoli, I beg you that we interrupt this Question, so that you can go and do a search on the 18 title deeds and ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I respect your ruling, I am begging that, because of the gravity of this matter, the Assistant Minister accompanies me, together with the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, who had promised last week that he would accompany me, to Dam Village, so that they can see for themselves what is going on there. When at the Dam Village, they will be ashamed to see the kind of war the hon. Minister waged there when this matter came up in the House. Why can we not, for once, be serious and think about Kenyans and ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member happens to come from Yatta, and, on behalf of his constituency, is saying that sewage is flowing into the river and the same is duplicated in Juja Constituency, yet the Assistant Minister is saying that the answer he has given us is the right one. Is he taking the Chair seriously? If he is, could the Chair rule that the Minister takes a walk, uses mbwa style and then comes and reports to this House? view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to rise so as to have an opportunity to not only support this Motion, but also thank the Minister, especially for the tone of his Motion which he has just moved, especially in view of where we have just come from in terms of experiences in this House when such a Motion was presented to us. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support the Minister, I would like, at this point, to decry the projection that our economy is going to grow at a mere 4 to 5 per ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: to this world, deserves to be commended. If anything, that person deserves a recognition at the international level for the kind of innovation that he had. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say something about the issue of boda boda and motorcycles. Mr. Minister, you must try and think about this thing through. What I have found on the ground in Busia, Bungoma, Kakamega and Kisumu - which is the main town- is that now, the boda boda boys have been kicked out of business. Those boda bodas you see on the roads no longer belong to the ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was simply trying to provoke the Minister, so that he gets annoyed. You know very well that--- view
