• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member should table the list of the people he is alleging to have been displaced and a list of the people he is alleging to have displaced others. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, obviously, when the hon. Member asked this Question, it is possible that he based it on particular names. I have just asked him to table those lists. That will help, rather than me going to look for non-existent names. If he has got the two lists - the list of those he claims to have been displaced and a list of the people who displaced the others, then we can do justice to the Question. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this House both the Questioners and Ministers have one thing in common; to see that justice is done. Where land is concerned, I do not think there is a single Minister who does not want to see the correct person allocated land keep it. In order to get things done, all we are asking is for the Questioner to let us have lists of the people he says have been displaced and those who have displaced them. It is the two lists that will help us get the correct situation. It is as simple ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry operationalized the Forests Act (2005) through Gazette Notice No.19 of 9th February, 2007. That automatically transformed the larger Forest Department into a fully fledged State Corporation - the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), whose Board of Management was put in place via Gazette Notice No.1189 of 16th February, 2007. (b) An all-inclusive Forest Reforms Committee to assist the Ministry to establish systems and structures that shall operationalize this law is currently in place and working. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, we are now in the process of operationalizing the new Act. So, obviously, it will appear, at the very beginning, that it is business is as usual. But, in fact, special members of staff have now been engaged to deal with that situation. It is possible that they may not have reached Maralal and other places. But the staff are there and we are going to see a total difference in the operations. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We realise the importance of sandalwood. As you are aware, on two occasions, even people in very high offices have been questioned about the possession of sandalwood. We have recovered quite a lot. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to use this opportunity to call upon Kenyans to safeguard their heritage and raw materials - including sandalwood - so that they can leave it alone for the posterity of this country. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is precisely why the Forest Department has been transformed into a Board. We will have a Board of Directors who will be operating independently from the Ministry. There will be increased planting of trees. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to what hon. Mukiri has said, it really makes one shed tears to see how depleted the area is. I can assure the hon. Member that trees will be planted. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, probably, apart from the extreme part of North Eastern Province, every region has forests. If members of the Board have to be appointed from every area that has a forest, we will have a bloated Board. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me also to make very brief remarks. I want, first of all, to congratulate the Minister for the efforts that he has put in, in fighting crime. I would have liked to see more money actually being given to this Ministry in order to give the Minister the ammunition that will help to fight crime. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a G3 gun in the hands of the police and an AK-47 gun in the hands of a criminal is almost a joke. It is really important that we should try to give more money ... view
• 5 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply on behalf of the Minister of State for Administration and National Security. (a) The criteria for promotion of officers in the police force is contained in the Force Standing Orders Cap.24(9). Promotion of officers is a continuous process where serving officers are selected for promotion on the basis of their qualifications, experience and to some extent seniority. In certain ranks, promotions depend upon satisfactory completion of promotional courses. However, at times, qualifications, proven merit and suitability for an existing vacancy will be given greater weight than seniority. (b) I am aware ... view
