• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you look at the Development Vote, the figure is Kshs2,276,037,400. This is Vote D36 – Ministry of Lands, Development Expenditure Summary for 2010/2011 and the projected expenditure Estimates for 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. This is just a clarification, so that the issue is clear. view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, I am, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to join others in saying that the Minister has done a fantastic job as the Minister for Lands. There are just a few questions that I wanted him to clarify arising from his presentation. I am looking specifically at the Development Vote. Only Kshs50 billion was allocated for land view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: adjudication and yet, we had other monies like Kshs146 billion given to the Department of Survey. The Department of Lands got Kshs150 billion. The question is: Is the Minister prioritizing the question of land adjudication particularly at the Coast Province? Why are we putting so little money? Why could we not put more money in the Kshs50 billion, for example? Why could it not go to survey instead of land adjudication? Is the priority right even as we vote to support this Motion? view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: The other question that I wanted to ask the Minister to look at is under this Development Vote. We expect more money to go to real issues that affect the people on the spot and down in the fields. If you look at Vote 026, we have an allocation under the heading, “Purchase of Office furniture and General Equipment”. It is being given Kshs51 million. If you see the projections that come in the following years, you see kshs28 million and Kshs27 million. The question is this: In a constituency like Garsen where some adjudication has started, the process is ... view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: If you look carefully at the items, there is another allocation for something like Kshs50,000 for the entire year. How does the Minister explain an allocation of specialized material and supplies amounting to Kshs50,000 for the entire year? What specialized materials are we buying for Kshs50,000? Could the Minister explain that because it seems--- First of all, I do not see what specialized material is going to be purchased. This is such a small amount that would have made real effect on the ground and yet, it is being used at the headquarters here without any proper justification for it. ... view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is this other Vote that I was looking at. If you look at Head 026 still on Development Vote 36 and Sub-vote Head 0071, there is a whole outset of the budget on the land policy formulation programme, which is something that we would all support. But after they have put all the other expenses, there is a Vote Head there they are calling “Other Operating Expenses”, which is going to Kshs76 million. If all these other things have been provided for, how does the Minister explain a large allocation of Kshs76 million to other ... view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Finally, on land acquisition, you have allocated Kshs1.5 billion. How much of it is going to, say, Coast Province? We have many squatters. Everybody knows the problem view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: that we have from Independence up to now. We have been left behind! Is this Kshs1.5 billion going there? I seek those explanations as I support that Vote. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Vote raises a few questions. So, I want to ask that I just be allowed to ask two questions on the Development Expenditure Estimates. The Minister said very clearly that the foreign policy in Kenya will be an economic foreign policy. What I would like the Minister to clarify to me is this: Why is it that the entire Development Vote, Vote D04, is on issues regarding refurbishment of buildings, purchase of buildings or construction of buildings? How do we bring in money in real terms that way? This means we are investing money ... view
