We approved the Supplementary Estimates and, therefore, this Bill confirms them. These Estimates will complete three and a half budget years of the NARC Government. Anybody who looks at them carefully, realises that it is a final supplement of a very austere Budget. We are introducing measures that begin to say public money must be spent very carefully.

• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to be clear on that particular matter. We should confine ourselves to the Bill at hand and not twin it with other matters. I respect the views of the hon. Member and he is in order to make such a clarification. When you look at the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, you will see that there are very important matters that will require urgent attention. This law will provide a budget for two months. The issue of drug abuse needs to be tackled through some money from the Office of the President. This is one area ... view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, every Ministry prepares a mini-budget and itemises all the things that are required. So, I am happy to support this Bill and ask all hon. Members to expeditiously pass it, so that we can develop our country. view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to allege that a Government Ministry can grab land from a citizen? Could hon. Muiruri withdraw that allegation? view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Ministry of Lands, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware. (b) Where private owners of land want to undertake development and squatters may be affected, the Provincial Administration, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Lands are always involved to ensure that fairness is upheld. view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, no proposals for the change of user from agricultural to some other use have been approved by my Ministry. It is in that context, therefore, that I am stating that, as of now, I am not aware that the land in question has been converted from agricultural use into anything else. view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have pointed out, where any work begins prior to the appropriate change of user being approved by the Ministry, that work is not legal. I am, of course, very much aware of the problem of squatters, especially within the Coast Province. Indeed, I am in discussion with the Members of Parliament from that region. Again, I am going to the Coast Province this week to look at the problem, including this particular issue. view

Obviously, all of us in the country, and obviously as Parliament, will be united in routing out corruption in connection with land issues. view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would be happy to answer a very specific Question on the particular aspect the hon. Member is referring to. Indeed, this week, when I will be in the Coast Province, I will be able to actually receive petitions and deal with them in accordance with the Kenyan law. view
