• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I agree with the Minister. The issue is infiltration. The information on the ground is not doctored. That is why we had to act with speed. That is the essence. Currently, what is happening with the IDPs, we keep on “manufacturing” new IDPs, who are actually not IDPs. I support her. view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to deliver a Ministerial Statement which was sought by several hon. Members, including Mr. Ethuro, Mr. Duale and Dr. Khalwale. The Statement relates to the resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons in the country. Specifically the hon. Members wanted to--- view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are two different issues. Could you allow me to just highlight some of the issues which I want to discuss? view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you. One of the clarifications sought by the hon. Members was whether a Cabinet Minister, two Assistant Ministers and one Backbencher from the Mau Forest Evictees Resettlement Committee have truly resigned from the Committee and the circumstances that led to their resignation. This cannot be found in the Bill. The second thing that they sought was whether the Ministry could give the current state of IDPs resettlement. I will table all the documents relating to that; it is a huge document and I do not need to go through it. I want to answer the first question, that the ... view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a difference between the other committee and those members who sit in the committee. The members who resigned, and I am not sure whether they have resigned, were the members from the local community leadership at the ground in the Mau Forest evictee region. Those are other committees and so I want us to separate between the local committee and the Government committee. So those are two things. I totally agree with you that we need that political goodwill and I am sure the Ministry is handling that to make sure that we ... view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can assure you because the committee comprises the Minister for Land, he will and he has said and that is the Government’s position that a caveat will be removed from that land so that we can purchase it. Most of the lands are almost ready. If you can give me a minute, for example, we have 11 parcels of land; one in Molo South, Ikumbi Block 1 and 2; Nakuru Longonot Block 2; Trans Nzoia, Cherengany and Nakuru Boron. The status is that money has already been paid about Kshs239 million for 1,309 acres ... view

Land purchased for forest evictees, a total of 1,301.76 hectares costing Kshs239,691. This is achievable before the next General Election. 2. Land purchases for IDPs is at various stages. We have 5,312 acres. We have shown where the land is located, remarks and the stage where this is. view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is what we have currently and what we have purchased. We are not saying that all of them will benefit from that piece of land. However, I have assured you that before the General Election, we will be able to achieve our target. I also have a document on land purchased by the Government for the resettlement of IDPs. It is a 13-page report which I wish to table. On the issue of the Red Cross in Tana River, currently, the Ministry is distributing relief food and non-food items to various populations and I ... view
