• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week I rose on a point of order to request the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to give a Ministerial Statement of a very crucial matter. That is, the invasion of public land; the Kabete Veterinary Laboratory land, which has been grabbed by the who is who in this Republic. The Minister requested for an extra week to bring the Statement. That extra week ends today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not see the Minister here but I can see the Minister for Lands whom after consultations we agreed he would do ... view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This House should not be seen to be working in vain. That is because we are representing the poor Kenyans and people who need the protection of the Government. Here, it is the Government which is failing to protect its own people. As I said earlier, there are three Kenyans who are languishing in remand prison out of that action and the Government is supposed to do something to remove them. Could you not only reprimand them, but this House directs the Government to release those Kenyans who are languishing in jail ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While the Assistant Minister wishes to answer these issues some time to come, it is a grave matter. The hon. Colleague here has just talked about two people. They are actually three people; one student who is in Industrial Area Police remand, another employee of the University of Nairobi and a farmer who simply went to collect swine food. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these people are languishing in prison. He should surely not wait for that long to release these people. The Attorney-General should withdraw this case and release this student to go back to university because he is innocent. I must also declare my interest in that club because I am a member. How will members of the club be protected from grabbers who have now formed an association of grabbers of the land? His Ministry has disobeyed the request by the Minister for Lands, who is a great man of Kenya and I am proud of him. ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied that he should take that long. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for this comprehensive statement. There are a lot of funds allocated for conservation of the Mau from various donors. Could he tell us how much money has been received so far? What are the plans on how to utilize this money and who will manage it? view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government received a report from the task force. I have a copy here. It is signed by task force members. Some of the recommendations are very clear. Had the Government implemented these recommendations, probably, we would not be talking about this. I believe because of laxity and fear of elections and other factors in the Government, the Executive was not able to execute their job as it is supposed to do. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Some of the recommendations include revocation of title deeds acquired beyond the group ranch in the Maasai Mau. Among others, it also includes compensation of third party purchasers for value where applicable, because there are some innocent Kenyans who bought some of this land without knowing, and prosecute those who benefited from the Mau? These are the things we would want the Prime Minister to look into. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: I want to table this report. I would like to know why its recommendations have not been implemented and yet the Government spent money to do this report. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security regarding the invasion of the Veterinary Laboratory Sports Club land on Saturday, 30th October, 2010 at 5.30 a.m. by people claiming ownership of the land and used earth movers, excavators and a fleet of vehicles ferrying hooligans to destroy property of the club worth Kshs3.1 million. The land has been allocated to powerful individuals in the Government directly and through proxies. The title deeds were subsequently revoked pursuant to the Ndung’u Report ... view
