• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is also the Imara Daima Fire Station. The land where Imara Daima falls was called Villa Franca. This was Government land. The Ministry of Lands did the structure plans and the NCC is not aware of any fire station and neither was it ever allocated land for a fire station in this area. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to say with respect to hon. Mbugua, the fact of the matter is that the people who went to demolish the building in the Gigiri area is actually the City Council enforcement officers. That is what he did not acknowledge. They are the ones who are enforcing that particular order. view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: The second point I would like to make is that with regard to New Muthaiga, I shall table the enforcement order here. On 19th June, one of the people associated with the development was arrested. This is the supervisor/owner of that project. His name is Hussein Chatur. He has been charged in the City Magistrate’s Court, case No.349/09. He was released on a cash bail of Kshs30,000. Therefore, this matter is now in court. We have charged the person who is undertaking those developments there. At the same time, I would like to state that I have directed that the ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to Malindi, I wish to state that it is unfortunate and we regret that this fire has caused a lot of damage to a major investment in Malindi. At the moment, I want to acknowledge that Malindi and several other local authorities are not well equipped to deal with the problem of emergencies such as fires. Indeed, we have made some requisition with the Treasury to be supported in the next financial year, so that we can acquire more vehicles that can be given to areas like Malindi and other towns, so that they can ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: The other point I would like to mention is that we have suffered some setbacks, particularly in the Coast Province following some skirmishes between the Council in Mombasa and, indeed, some of the people who were claiming to be hawkers. There is every indication that this may not have been hawkers because they organised themselves and burnt down a brand new fire engine vehicle belonging to the City Council of Mombasa. This was one of the vehicles that were assisting the whole of the Coast zone when there was emergency. So, as we look forward to acquiring more vehicles, I ... view
• 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
