• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure you are aware that I just came to this Ministry a week ago. What I am being asked, I am not very clear about. You could give me a week so that I can go through this report because as you are aware majority of hon. Members always ask Questions when they know the answer. I do not want to be embarrassed to give a wrong answer and particularly when I have not gone through the report. So I would request that you give me maybe up to next week, Tuesday or ... view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just as I said, give me a bit of time; let me get the proper comprehensive report because I am not even aware about the Mandera Market. But now that he has said it is complete, is it opened? I am not sure whether it is open or not. If it is not opened then we shall also open it. view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can bring it next week on Tuesday. view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not need information. I have enough information. Let me bring the report next week, then I can be given more information. view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the market that we are going to put up will be a very big one and it will be completed next year after elections but we shall make sure that we start it before elections this year. So do not worry; everything will be okay. view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the Government had set aside a plot for a community centre at Gatimu Shopping Centre. According to the records held by the council, there is no shopping centre known as Gatimu Shopping Centre. All the land in Gatimu Ward belong to Settlement Fund Trustee. That is not trust land and the council has no powers to allocate it. (b) The council has not allocated any plot at the centre and, therefore, we are not aware of any stalled project. Any person who unlawfully occupies the ... view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the County Council of Nyandarua has not allocated any plot. Since that land belong to Settlement Trustee Fund- -- It is possible that they could have been allocated those plots by the Ministry of Lands, but not by the county council. So, I am not aware. view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry, I am not aware of that. But if the previous Minister had promised, maybe, I was not aware. But I can find out from the Ministry of Lands if that place was really allocated by it. view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the moment, the councils are not allowed to allocate any plots. If there is anybody who is still allocating plots, please, let me know. We shall take action against them. That is because municipalities and county councils are not allowed to allocate any of their land. They have been given instructions not to allocate. So, if you are aware that there is a town clerk who is still allocating land, please, let us know and we shall take action. view
• 29 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this has been a problem for a long time. Land that belongs to the county councils or the municipalities is not supposed to be allocated by the Ministry of Lands without the authority of the respective county councils, municipal councils or city councils. So, unless the city council gives authority or it gives a letter of no objection, the Commissioner of Lands is not supposed to allocate any land on behalf of the City Council, town councils or even county councils. view
