• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: We should stand here to defend public land rather than defend fraudsters. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was supposed to answer this Question yesterday, my answer was not ready. I indicated that my Ministry was taking steps to revoke the title. My answer may not be quite along those lines, but the effect of it is really the same. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply: view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (a) The land register in Kisumu Lands Office shows that L.R. No. Kisumu/Dago/39, which is 0.5 hectares, was registered in favour of Olando Ong’udi on 23rd October, 1973 and thereafter transferred to Salim Mupelele Said on 22nd August, 1996. (b) I am, however, not satisfied that the transfer to Salim Mupelele Said was properly done because the supporting transfer documents, that is the statutory Form No.LR1 and the consent from the Land Control Board are not available. The Ministry has, therefore, placed a restriction on any further transaction until Mr. Said avails evidence that the land was properly transferred to ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: It is also possible that the family of Mr. Olando Ong’udi has undergone frustrations on the face of the records showing that the land belongs to Salim Mupelele Said’s side. Once the Ministry resolves the issue of the alleged transfer to Mr. Said, the frustrations will come to an end. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you give me 30 days, I will be able to do that, one way or the other. So, Mr. Salim will be given 14 days to do that and then, in the next 14 days, we will take appropriate action. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Let me thank the hon. Member for welcoming me to his constituency in such a powerful way. Keep it up. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: In fact, there is somebody who has already been convicted in relation to that matter and served a sentence. Mr. Olago, only added to an ongoing process because the history of that particular land is full of illegal activities. It was not just on the time when there was a transfer between Mr. Mupelele and Ong’udi, but even subsequently. That is why I have come to a firm belief that the whole process was shrouded with fraud. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the records, it looks like even the green card that we have that was introducing the system is not the original green card. The activity that led to those unfortunate circumstances is one that we keep on appealing. I am glad that the relevant Parliamentary Committee, even as you read the report on Syokimau, says the only end to this kind of fraud is not just convictions, but introducing a land information system that is going to bring all these things to an end. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: We are hoping that Treasury will read this new situation and give the Ministry the requisite funds to create a land information system that will not require any kind of human intervention. So, whereas I agree to some extent that there has been a problem from within, all that is happening because whenever you have human intervention, then records, whether in courts or immigration, tend to offer an opportunity to those who do not want to do things the right way. The way forward is to have a land information system that even from your office, your house or from ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a totally different question. But whenever an issue like this has been brought to my notice, even Mr. Olago Aluoch is a witness---. If you give information and I find the facts are true, without thinking about the consequences so long as a title deed is based on fraud, I always oblige, especially if it is a Member of Parliament, by proceeding to expunge such kind of title deed from our records. I can tell you - and I want to plead with you - that a lot of fraud--- In fact, if you ... view
