• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: I want to assure the hon. Member who spoke on the issue of land allocations--- view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said in my statement, on the issue of land allocations, one of the things that we want to do is to carry out an audit of all public land and also ensure title deeds are obtained; whether for schools or hospitals. That way we shall be view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we are exactly where we are because the Council did not take that into account when planning. That is the fact of the matter. It is an issue that happened. We are now trying to reverse that process. That is the best I can say. At that time, the people who received the plans and looked at them, should have taken into account that issue. But it appears that they did not. They have put us where we are, so that we are trying to enforce the orders to stop the development. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, judging from what has started happening in Gigiri and New Muthaiga, we shall vigorously pursue plots that belong to the public in other parts of Nairobi. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make this Ministerial Statement arising from queries raised by hon. Danson Mungatana. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: My Ministry is aware of the incidents cited, but denies that it was privy to any interference by any politician to the orderly settlement of hawkers. The ministry has always endeavoured to promote through rule of law even in extreme circumstances when hawkers and other illegal traders take up public roads, foot paths and all available open spaces meant for use by all citizens residing in any municipality. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are over 7 million hawkers, street traders and Jua Kali operators all over the country. They operate in designated areas, undesignated areas, private land and grabbed land. The removal of hawkers and street traders from undesignated areas through court orders or other persuasive methods are often resisted by the hawkers thus necessitating the use of reasonable force. The Ministry notes with sadness that some criminal elements have infiltrated the hawking and informal sector in general. This complicates civil management of the informal sector. Genuine hawkers have their associations which are constantly in consultation with the relevant ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a case in point is the Nairobi Ministerial Hawkers Harmonization Committee which was formed under the auspices of my Ministry two years ago to co-ordinate orderly relocation of hawkers in Nairobi. The success of this pilot scheme led to the settlement of hawkers at Muthurwa Market. My Ministry is now also up-scaling the project to other local authorities. In May, 2008, the Ministry instructed all local authorities to acquire land for the settlement of hawkers and street traders. This is ongoing. The settlement and management of hawkers and street traders is now part of performance contracts in ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the issue raised by Mr. Mungatana, I admit that at this point, I do not have numbers that I can quote as to how many hawkers have been settled in Mombasa. I can undertake to obtain and present to the House at a later date. The second point with regard to Mombasa and the issue of performance contracting, I just want to elaborate that when you talk of performance contracting within the local authorities, it is supposed to be viewed in a positive context and not in the negative. It view
