• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I can tell the hon. Member through you is that 95 acres of that land is reserved for public purposes being the dam and the school but the balance was allocated to the two individuals that I have just cited. I think the hon. Member is already in possession of documentation showing a letter by the then Provincial Commissioner (PC) in Nyeri on 1st July, 1982 as the chairman of the Provincial Allocation Committee and brought to the Commissioner of Lands Mr. J. R. Njenga giving approval by the Committee and having made the appropriate ... view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again under the Constitution and the Land Bill, the allocation of public land is now going to be in the hands of the National Land Commission, if you approve the legislation and the County Land Board which are going to be appointed by the counties and not by the national Government. So, we await for that legislation if at all it will be passed. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whether or not the developers have satisfied the conditions of the grant is a different Question. If you want me to look at that, I will, but what was being questioned was the legitimacy or the regularity of the allocation to the developers. Clearly, all that is on record, including records from the Ministry of Agriculture who were allocated that land in the beginning; the land was reserved to that Ministry in the beginning. They gave their consent to the allocation. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know the Anglo Saxon language is not our mother tongue but I said in the beginning that the question as to whether or not the conditions of the grant have been complied with is a different question from what the hon. Member had asked. If you want me to look at whether the grantee has complied with the conditions of the grant, I am prepared to look at that. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: First of all, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I can give the difference or the distinction between the Mau allocations, there is a distinction on land which is available for alienation. The Commissioner of Lands, the President or for that matter, even the Minister for Lands cannot – let me put it that way – allocate land that is not available for alienation. That includes lands that are gazetted for a particular purpose or by dint of any particular law is for use for a particular purpose. For example, like hon. Ottichilo would tell you, if it is riparian land, ... view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just respectfully comment that the issue of the point of order was the order in relation to hon. Shakeel. He was asking: “Is it in order for him---” so that it may not appear in the record as if I am the one who is out of order. But having made that distinction, I am prepared within two weeks to bring a report back to the House if need be. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it depends on whether the hon. Members still want to interrogate it, but I could lay the report on the Table. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if it is a permanent river, I can give you assurances because there must always be access to rivers, lakes and oceans. Nobody should really stand on the way of anybody accessing a river, a lake or an ocean. To that extent, I undertake to do so. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: I need to look at that, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, but I can assure him--- view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Okay. view
