• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I like the point that the hon. Member is making. I just want to remind the House that one of the best ever parliamentarians in this House was former Chief Justice Madan. He was not only a Member of this House; he was a Cabinet Minister and one of the best legal brains in the bench. The statement is not without justification. view

• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to apologise to the House and to Mr. Wamalwa. I was appearing before the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources and it rose at 3.00 p.m. So, I literally ran to come and answer this Question. So, I apologise. view

• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (a) The Government is aware and appreciates the serious problem of squatters currently occupying private, co-operatives and public institutions’ land in Trans-Nzoia District. We are also aware that some private and public institutions’ land was invaded during the 1992 tribal clashes. It is estimated that there are over 15,000 squatters in Trans-Nzoia District who have not been settled to date. The Government has in the past settled 12,179 beneficiaries in 43 settlement schemes in Trans-Nzoia District. There are also plans to settle 1,000 landless Kenyans in Chepchoina Phase II. Unfortunately, during this Financial Year, 2009/2010, my Ministry was not allocated ... view

• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like Mr. Wamalwa to provide me with evidence that there are members of the Provincial Administration or any other person who does not qualify to be a beneficiary in the settlement scheme. Let me have the names and I will immediately expunge them from the beneficiaries’ list. In order to qualify as a beneficiary, you must be poor and landless. In any settlement scheme, somebody who is not ordinarily a resident in that area is not qualified to be a beneficiary, although there is some latitude to the extent that about 20 per cent ... view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: We need to create a legal framework. Part of what is going on under Agenda No.4 is to get a legal framework that would make it easy and provide implementing legislation for purposes of Ndung’u Report. But I must say in clear cases where a blatant act of fraud may have been committed, I have not hesitated in revoking title deeds so that the public interest is secured. In some of the cases, even when they are taken up by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), they stay in the courts for years because the status of land changes while the ... view
