Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The problem of land adjudication in the entire Meru region is not only as a result of the problems that the Minister has raised. We have problems with human resource; that is land officers and lack of finance. I would want to know from him how much money he has set aside in the coming Budget for this purpose in this region. Land adjudication in Amwathi, in my constituency, is over and the AR maps are already in Nairobi. How much money has he allocated for this purpose in our district?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very important for me to put this issue clearly to this House and to my brothers, Dr. Khalwale and hon. Midiwo. It is true that this Question came before the House when the Public Investments Committee (PIC) was in Mombasa compiling its report. For that reason, I was not here to ask this Question.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe, I need to explain to the House something. The issue about personal interest is so relative.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no personal interest in this matter. The matter that Dr. Khalwale is alluding to is as a result of a contract entered into in July, 2004, between a company in which I have shares and the City Council of Nairobi. That is even before I became a Member of Parliament!

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg the indulgence of the Chair that I may be able to present this matter properly before the House so that it can be well understood by hon. Members, so that in their opinion, they can as well determine whether I have any interests in this matter or not. I want to start by thanking the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for giving a very good answer, especially to parts âaâ and âbâ. I want to seriously look at his answer to part âcâ. In my view, proper procurement ...

Thank you for your protection, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the advertisement was placed in the newspapers, a number of bidders bid for this plot. According to my documents, 12 people bid for this plot. Out of that, the Legal Officer wrote a letter to the Ministry of Lands requesting a valuation report which was supposed to form a valuation basis for this plot. I will be laying all these documents on the Table. After the valuation report was given, the report that came from the Ministry of Lands, and went to Ms. N. Ngâethe, gave a valuation figure ...
