• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Lands the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister explain the facts that informed the sudden decision to raise official search fees in land registries from Kshs100 to Kshs3,000 per search? (b) Considering that land ownership is critical in the fight against poverty, could the Minister revise the fees downwards to a reasonable rate? view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to express my very sincere sympathies to the Minister for what he is going through. He has to look into those tattered papers which resemble files. I want to thank him for being sympathetic to the Kenyan people; by suspending the search fees. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want him to be definite about the actions he is taking to streamline the registries. When will he definitely fix up that problem by computerising the records? There has been talk of computerising land records, but this has never been done. view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Minister admit that there are forged letters of allotment from various institutions. This results in fake or forged title deeds. What does the Minister intend to do to stop that kind of thing from happening? Does he intend to form another Commission to stop forgery in the Ministry of Lands? What does he intend to do to stop such June 24, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1319 forgeries? view

• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no objection, but without pre-empting him, I hope he comes with a promise to waive the fees altogether. view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are talking of an Act that was enacted in 1999. I was privileged to be the Chairman of the Committee on Environment in 2003. At that time, the Minister came to the Committee and said that the rules and regulations to help in the implementation of that Act were going to be gazetted in 2003. Today, the Assistant Minister is telling the House that they are preparing the rules and regulations to be tabled soon. They were supposed to be tabled "soon" in 2003. Could I get an assurance from the Assistant Minister that those rules ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That answer is not adequate. "Soon" is not a time line. It is what the Government uses all the time; it also says that things will be done when funds become available. It is the same! They do not serve any purpose! view
• 7 May 2008 in National Assembly: , asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that Kapsinendet Secondary School in Bureti District has not received the free secondary education funds; and, (b) if the answer to (a) is in the affirmative, when the Ministry will disburse funds to the said school. view
• 29 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Are we still on the Question that was asked by Mr. Eugene Wamalwa, or have we gone elsewhere? view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister say that creation of districts is done following applications by Kenyans. Mr. Mbau has requested to be given a district and he is a Kenyan. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, am I in order to say that the Assistant Minister is misleading the House because one Kenyan has applied for a district like I am applying for one, and he has not got it? view
