• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, previously, we did not have title deeds for all the Government forest land. But since 2005 when the new Act and new reforms in the forest sector were enacted by this House, we began the process of establishing these boundaries and getting the title deeds. For quite a number of forest areas, I may not have the figure now, but we have title deeds for them. We still do not have title deeds for some, but that is a process that is ongoing. view
• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have taken note of Mr. Ochieng’s concern. That is a matter that we are going to put into perspective and consideration as we continue with dialogue with the eight families. view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, once again, I want to ask for your indulgence for this particular Question to be moved to the next sitting of this House.

• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I expected my substantive Minister, who had the answer, to come and answer because I was busy elsewhere. I only learnt later that he was not here. view

• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) A total of 39 saw mills have prequalified licence to bid for plantations in Mau Forest blocks as per the attached list which I will table. The list also indicates their respective allocated plantation forest portions and how much they paid for their licences as royalties. The companies are Kenyan owned and are registered in Kenya. (b) The 39 saw mills were prequalified in accordance with:- (i) Government Procurement Act, 2005, Procurement Rule of placing advertisements in two newspapers of national circulation inviting interested saw millers to apply for prequalification; ... view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the list of 39 saw millers, you will realise that the last 36 saw millers are locals. They are the only ones who were allowed to start accessing the forest materials and products after we got an interpretation from the Attorney-General on the ban of logging. As you know, a logging ban has been in place for quite some time. During the time of the ban, the first three companies were the only companies which were allowed to continue harvesting forest materials and re-planting the areas from which they harvested. So, if you look ... view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, if that is what the statistics say, but there are reasons for that position. I was trying to explain to the hon. Member that it is possible that it happened. Indeed, it is the three companies which have been allocated the most part of the forest since they have a much bigger capacity than all the other saw millers that have been pre-qualified. view
