• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I will only comment on just a few of the issues which have been raised. First, is the issue of land tenure in Kenya. Although a lot of times we talk about the land policy in this country, very few people have managed to think about the effects of the politics to land tenure. Quite often, any pronouncement that we make on the sanctity of title deeds affects anybody who wishes to invest in this country. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: It is very important that when we are looking at this land policy, we debate it a bit more carefully, so that we do not negate some of the strides that have been made in this country in terms of sanctity of title deeds which has been there in the last century since 1901. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Coming to land information management, this happens to be my bread and butter. There is much that can be discussed on land information management in this country. However, the key issue is that we have not done enough. This country has a lot of potential in terms of knowledge. We have many Kenyans who are trained and know how to do land information management, but they have not had the chance to do it. This chance needs to be given to the Ministry and any other relevant Ministry. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: It is not only the Ministry of Lands that deals with land. There are several crosscutting Ministries which deal with land issues which would form the national spatial data infrastructure. Such Ministries as the Minister has just mentioned when he was talking about doing boundaries for hydrographics, you should ask your selves: What does hydrographics entail? It will go all the way to include the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources. It will have data for natural resources, agricultural resources and a whole host of Ministries. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very important we take cognizance of the resources that we have in this country. When we make this data infrastructure, we must finance it. We should not forget that a lot of data already exists; it is only that it has not been collated. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: If you go to the private sector, bilateral donors and other institutions, you will see a lot of data exists in different types and all manner of standards. It is important that all this data be collated and put together instead of thinking of how to reinvent the wheel. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Having said that we have a lot of knowledge in this country, we have had occasion whereby when a competition is being done for this data infrastructure, you find that our Kenyan professionals are competing with other people who have not even been view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Deputy Speaker, I will have to speak another time. I beg to support. view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be quite brief. view
