• 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
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are all aware that the Attorney-General's Office, the Ministry of Lands and the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) are all implementing reforms regarding corruption in terms of land that was illegally and irregularly allocated. 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
• 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
