• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Ministry is very concerned about the plight of squatters in the Coast Province and the country in general. I can assure the hon. Member that any development that is done prior to the change of user being approved by my Ministry is illegal, and 626 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 25, 2006 my Ministry will proceed to stop it. view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Squatter, Sir--- view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise. That was a slip of the tongue. You are not squatting on the Chair and I am sure we are not doing so in this House. Actually, Vipingo Estates Limited has even been in dialogue with some of the squatters with a view to assisting them. But, obviously, I cannot confirm that squatters will have a right to private property, because that is not the Kenyan law. But at the same time, the Government has schemes, particularly at the coast and elsewhere, to really make sure that there is land made available for squatters, because ... view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to continue with my contribution. I would like to conclude my contribution by supporting the Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the debate on the Supplementary Estimates has taken more time than usual. Usually, the debate is concluded by January. The Financial Year is about to end. Parliament should take a cue from that and conclude the debate on the Supplementary Estimates, so that money can be availed. If that is not done, we will not be able to spend the money appropriately. The money will be returned ... view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Prof-Anyang'-Nyong'o to discuss what is before the courts in this House? view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he was discussing a court case about the status of those who are in Government from the Opposition which is a matter before the courts of law and there is a doctrine of separation of powers. view
• 20 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must say that you are a very nice person. I must apologise for having stood up when I should not have done so. I rise to support these Supplementary Estimates. One very compelling reason for doing that, as House, is that a lot of this money, particularly that in the Vote for the Office of the President, will go a long way towards alleviating the effects of the drought and famine we have been experiencing. It will help people by providing them with seed and other things. This Parliament has consistently engaged itself in ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to say that he was told a certain Minister said that Anglo Leasing was a Government project, without substantiating who that was? view
• 11 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also send my condolences for all our departed colleagues. I have personal intimacy with Mr. M. Kariuki and Dr. Godana whom we went to school with together with you, Mr. Speaker. So, in this Parliament, two of us are now gone. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of my constituents, the District Commissioner for Moyale, has passed on. It is really a sad moment for all of us. I think like every speaker has emphasised, let us in a very genuine way find this sad occasion as the occasion that will reconcile us with ourselves and country so ... view
• 6 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the members of the Land Disputes Tribunal from Maragua Constituency have not been paid their full sitting allowances for the year 2004 and 2005. The current situation is that the allowances for the Tribunal members are being serviced from Government voted funds and given that the number of meetings they hold are many, the April 6, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 419 funds have not been sufficient. This has led to members' payments falling into cumulative arrears. This situation is not peculiar to Maragua Constituency alone, it also obtains throughout ... view
