• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he is aware that most farmers in Trans Nzoia District lack title deeds to their farms and are thus unable to access finance from the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) and other financial institutions, (b) whether he could state the number of applications for the title deeds received from Trans Nzoia by the Ministry and state the number issued so far; and, (c) what steps the Government has taken to ensure expeditious processing and issuance of title deeds to Kenyans in Trans Nzoia and other parts of the country. view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that there was a crash programme for issuance of title deeds introduced in 1995/1996 that resulted in the neighbouring district of Uasin Gishu achieving titles for almost all the farms and that, this was supposed to be extended to Trans Nzoia District? What happened to that initiative because now you are talking of the new initiative under the Rapid Results Initiative (RRI) that has given us 53,688 titles? Could he clarify that issue? view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister inform the House exactly what measures they are taking to rectify this situation? He has indicated that they will do it when funds are available and I can already see from the Budget produced here that whereas Eldoret in Uasin Gishu District has been allocated another Kshs52 million in their development budget, Trans Nzoia has zero. This means that there is no intention or plans to ensure that the District Lands Registry of Trans Nzoia is able to process and issue title deeds to farmers. Could he confirm the position that there are ... view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also wish to support the Ministry's Vote and take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for being appointed to this very key Ministry. The Minister is someone I have known for so many years. I have the greatest respect for him as both a senior colleague in the legal profession and a leader who is reform minded as well as someone who has fought for social justice and democracy in this country. He has joined the Ministry at a time when the Ministry needs a lot of reforms. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have seen many people from Trans Nzoia travelling all the way to Nairobi to get title deeds from the Lands Office. It is a very cumbersome process. It is also expensive for farmers to travel hundreds of miles to Nairobi. We do need a system of decentralization that can enable district registries to operate, and to issue title deeds to farmers in the regions rather than having everyone travelling to Nairobi. In one case, we had about 900 members of a farm and each was supposed to travel to Nairobi to pay at the ... view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I had asked my friend, hon. Kioni, to give me a few minutes, but thank you for giving me the chance. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kenya is 45 years old. Seventy per cent of the population of Kenya are the youth. By any standards, this nation can be called a youthful nation. Yet, for all these years, this nation has lacked a comprehensive national policy on the youth. To me, this is the biggest problem that this country is facing. Something needs to be done urgently. This is because what has happened, so far, is what ... view
• 22 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for this House to deal with this matter when the Minister has indicated that it is pending before the court and it is subject to High Court Civil Case No.852 of 2008? view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When this House allowed live coverage of the proceedings, hon. Members were allowed to read through the Questions for the benefit of the Press and the general public. However, as of now, the Press is able to receive hon. Members's Questions in advance. In fact, in some of the newspapers, they are able to highlight what is coming up before the House in advance. Realising that we are spending a lot of time asking Questions because hon. Members have to read through the Questions thereby taking a considerable amount of time, ... view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to support this very important Motion brought by hon. Kaino. It is a very important Motion because of the nature of Cherangany Hills and what it means to this nation and African Continent. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, a lot of attention has been directed to the Mau Forest. Cherangany Hills has not received half the attention that Mau Forest has received. I want to thank the hon. Member for bringing this Motion, because Cherangany Hills is a very important natural resource to this nation. It is a water catchment area that supplies ... view
