• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry operates on a tight budget. If you see what we have been given this year on relief allocations, it may not be enough--- view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will respond to the first question from Madam that--- view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your direction. Yes, we have early warning systems around the country but we need also to ascertain at what level it is. As we get the data on the ground, as a Ministry, we will be able to evaluate. So, I have no problem. This will only take a few days. Kindly wait for our report and we will act efficiently. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the budget allows, we will make sure that we give you food. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will not be possible to give Kieni District 4,000 bags of maize. However, I promise to increase the ration in Kieni District. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to issue a Ministerial Statement on the plight of Mau evictees as requested by hon. Keter. Before I address issues raised by him, hon. Members will recall that on the 9th of May, 2012, while issuing a statement on the resettlement of Mau Forest evictees that had been asked by hon. Ruto, the hon. Speaker ordered my Minister to visit Majani Mingi Farm. I wish to inform the House that I personally visited the farm LR No.89/32/2 and LR. No.10939/2 known as Majani Mingi Farm in Rongai District, Nakuru County on 30th May, 2012. The ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of constructing houses for the forest evictees, I am afraid that the policy does not allow us to procure for them directly. The money that we got is specifically for building houses for the post-election violence IDPs. The issue of the forest evictees and the integration programme came afterwards. We do not have enough funds for settlement of the forest evictees. So, we will simply be giving them materials, so that they can build their own houses using the artisans from within their group. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On the issue of discrimination, I would like to state that we do not discriminate against anybody. The Ministry was mandated to re-settle the 2008 post-election violence victims. The forest evictees came in afterwards. So, the Ministry accepted to re-settle those forest evictees and some of the IDPs who were within the settlement area, in terms of integrating them within their communities. Therefore, we are providing full housing for those being integrated as a result of the post-election violence. So, the Ministry is building houses specifically for the victims of the post-election violence, and that is the mandate of the ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I understand, the issue of IDPs is not new in Kenya. We have been having IDPs from 1997 to 2002. It is not the mandate of this Ministry to deal with that category of IDPs. However, we are currently developing a Policy Paper on re- settlement of all categories of IDPs. The Policy Paper has been forwarded to the Cabinet for approval. Once that Policy is availed for us to re-settle all IDPs, I can guarantee the re-settlement of those particular IDPs. Right now, this Ministry is mandated to re-settle the post-election violence IDPs. I do ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not say that I will not re-settle the forest evictees. I told you that we cannot go beyond 2008. What I said is that the forest evictees and the integration programme, through which we are re-settling the post-election violence IDPs within communities, fall under our mandate. There are categories of IDPs. The forest evictees will be given materials to build their houses. It is only the post-election violence IDPs that the Ministry is building houses for. So, at no time did I say that it is not our mandate, but there are categories. view
