• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the land on which Litein Police Station stands was set aside for a public bus park and market stalls. The same was allocated to the Police Department by Kipsigis County Council, through allotment letter Ref.180959, dated 24th February, 1998. (b) There are no plans, whatsoever, to relocate the police station, because the land was legally acquired. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really care for the people of Kipsigis. It is because the area Member of Parliament has not sat down with the Kipsigis County Council to agree on where the land for the bus park and the stalls should be. I have evidence with me that the land in question was legally allocated to the police. I would wish to table the allotment letter from Kipsigis County Council. We paid for this land. We paid all the levies and for whatever else was required. I am going to table the letter. The only advice I would give ... view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two things: One, this is not a question of the Ministry buying land. This is a question of land which is meant for the construction of a police station in Kipsigis, but people there want the same land to be given out for the construction of a bus park and market stalls. If Dr. Kones has a problem within his own constituency, he should put a Question and I will reply to it. view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that Dr. Kones' Question is completely different from the one asked by Mr. Bett. Dr. Kones is asking me if I can avail or buy land. The Question by Mr. Bett is asking me if I can relocate the police station. So, the two Questions do not relate to each other. view

• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, you can acquire land through the county councils or buy land using the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money or voluntarily allocate land for public use. So, for Dr. Kones, he can decide on one of the three options. He can either buy land, through the CDF, in order for us to build a police station or donate land or use the available land which is meant for public utility. We are ready to construct the houses for police officers. We have the money. view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, I know where the land for the construction of the police post is. It is within Bureti County Council, and Bureti County Council is in Kenya. I know where it is! view
• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: My friend, Mr. Bett, should have asked me to allocate more funds for the speedy construction of the police station. On the issue of relocating, we can only relocate the police station if, indeed, there is a parcel of land which has been set aside for construction of the same because, in any case, he needs the police. view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be able to give a Ministerial Statement on this particular issue on Wednesday afternoon. view
• 8 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will not be possible to do so tomorrow, because I have 2584 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 8, 2008 to gather information from the ground. view
