It is noted, Hon. Speaker. Thank you so much. Let me first of all take this opportunity to thank all the Members who contributed to this Motion. There is so much that has been said. Let me assure you that we are going to sit down and look at ways of reviewing our land policies. It is true that land has become an issue. As we speak, we have a lot of issues touching on land ownership on our table. To react on the issues that have been talked about, there is what we call duplication of responsibilities. As you ...

Our suggestion is that, since everything that is strategic has to be followed by resources, all these departments should come together so that we can utilise the available resources to digitise the management of land. There are issues to do with riparian land. Before one constructs a building, he or she is supposed to undergo very many processes. There are many authorities which are supposed to approve any construction. When it comes to environmental issues, there is NEMA. When it comes to land issues, there is the Ministry. When it comes to construction of buildings, there is the National Construction ...

Asante sana, Naibu Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii ili niweze kuchangia Hoja hii. Kwanza kabisa ningependa kutoa shukurani na kumshabikia Mhe. Owen Baya na kumpa kongole kwa kuja na wazo hili. Hili ni jambo ambalo linajulikana kuwa mmea wa mnazi mbali na kuwa una faida yake ya kindani, ukiangalia mandhari yake inarembesha sehemu iliyopandwa. Iwapo mnazi utapatiwa nguvu ya kupandwa kwa teknolojia ya kisasa – na nikisema hivyo ninamaanisha Serikali iwekeze kwa mmea huu - basi katika kuchangia katika uchumi wa Kenya itakuwa ni nguvu moja. Mbali na kuwa sasa hivi ni mmea unaomea katika sehemu ambayo tumekuwa ...

Hon. Speaker, I just want to indicate the reason as to why we decided to include the EACC to be part of the entity that should take responsibility. When we invited the EACC, we raised some few questions, but it was so unfortunate that they were not very co-operative in answering the questions. We, as Members, thought that maybe there were issues they were hiding. Later on, they told us that there were issues which were sensitive and they could not fully disclose everything.

It also came to our attention that the EACC was given information and moved to stop the payment. Unfortunately, later on, payment was made. The EACC, while explaining and defending itself, told us that by the time they moved in to stop the payment, already Afrison Import Export Ltd had distributed the money to other accounts. Therefore, it was impossible for them to stop payment from being made. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

After listening to the Members who contributed to this Report, the Committee Members decided there was need to expunge Paragraph 6 because the EACC is an entity that comes after action has been taken. We unanimously agreed on the amendment and therefore, I support it.
