Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Petition by Hon. Amisi. Indeed Kitalale is a place where we have people who have stayed there for many years. The Government has never issued them with tittle deeds. They only have letters of allotment. As my colleague has clearly put it, these people paid all the due amounts that were required by the Government, and the allocation was done by a legitimate Government. So, it is the responsibility of the current Government to expedite this process of issuing tittle deeds. This is a matter that we have been following ...

In Trans Nzoia, this issue is not just in Kitalale. We also have a similar problem in Meso, Chepchoina and we are humbly requesting the relevant Government agencies and the CS to move with speed so that these squatters can be issued with tittle deeds immediately.

The matter that the KFS is coming up with should not arise. The same issue that is happening to Mau and other areas may move to Trans Nzoia and we do not want that to happen. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

People settled and later on the Government comes to revoke what is duly theirs. So we are requesting the relevant Committee to move with speed.

Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I salute Hon. Nyoro for this Bill. Research has shown that 30 per cent of the Budget in this country goes down the drain through corruption. When you look at the entire process, this is where I am asking myself whether the problem is with the stiffness of penalties. Where is the problem when it comes to the fight against corruption? We have laws that govern the fight against corruption. They are very good laws. The problem has been in investigation. How I had wished that ...

go to the equivalent of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). Then, one gentleman helped me by showing me the direction. As a Kenyan, after he has done some good work for me, I offered him USD10 but he said: “No, I cannot take it”. In the fight against corruption, we must start with the change of culture. When you go to a hotel nowadays, and a waiter serves you, they want kitukidogo. This culture is coming even to this Parliament. At times when you are in our dining, you are served and people want kitu kidogo. We must look ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Member is my friend. On a matter sub judice, it is in our Standing Orders. It will be good if he familiarises with it, so that he understands what it means. In my pronouncement, I did not go into issues of merits and demerits. That is what sub judice is all about. He is a first timer. He has a long way to learn. Next time he will know what it is. The Kimwarer Dam Project is in public domain. A taskforce was put in place by His Excellency the President and from ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is true that Article 95 of the Constitution empowers this House to deliberate and resolve on any matter of concern to the people. As pertains to the KNUT, the case has been concluded and orders were given. I do not think it is active in court. Even if it is interim orders, it is the responsibility of the police to enforce those orders. With the police principle of Utumishi KwaWote, we do not see why the Inspector-General has not acted.

The Committee, headed by Hon. Koinange – unfortunately, most of the time he is absent from the House but Waluke is around – is the one that is responsible for these matters, but it has been sleeping on the job. We have complained on many issues. Many petitions have come to this House and were committed to that particular Committee but after 60 days, we got no report from the Committee. In any case, they always ask for extension of period.
