• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: I would like to take this as a very positive position from the hon. Member. I would like to seek the indulgence of this House that I have an opportunity to scrutinise these documents, so that I can also come and respond further to this particular issue. view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I say so, because the issue of public land or public utility land, whether in Nairobi or any other local authority, is a very serious matter if it is particularly taken away and used for other uses that were not designated in any given area. So, I would like to request that the House allows me to scrutinise these documents and then come back here with further statement on this particular issue. view
• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me, at the outset, thank my colleague hon. Kenyatta because, in the process of giving me a bit of his time, he has come out very well to demonstrate that the Grand Coalition Government can share. I will make sure that I utilize the ten minutes as effectively as possible. At the outset, I want to support the Motion. By and large, this is more of a procedural process, bearing in mind that very soon, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will be delivering to this House his Budget Statement ... view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to make a Ministerial Statement in respect of the issues raised by Mr. Gideon Konchella where he requested a number of issues. I would like to enumerate them for memory's sake. One of the issues he sought to seek is why the operations of the county council of Trans Mara have come to a standstill; why the council has not been constituted; who is responsible for the sorry state of affairs, and why companies owned by South African nationals are not remitting funds due to the county council as park entrance fee. view

• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The County Council of Trans Mara, unlike other local authorities, was not constituted immediately after the last general election because of a series of court cases lodged by the councillors in their endeavour to control council affairs. My Ministry, vide Ministerial Circular dated 18th February, 2008, directed all the local authorities to constitute their respective councils. However, it was not possible to constitute the county council of Trans Mara because returns from the Electoral Commission of Kenya indicated that elections in 14 wards were not concluded.

• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday, 11th June, 2008, elections for Kilgoris Member of Parliament were repeated where Mr. Konchella was elected and the 14 councillors that had been affected were also held as elected. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: I do not have to list the names of the 14 councillors because they are there. I also want to state that the following councillors were later nominated: Gladys Shira Cherop, Tunai ole Kijabe, Richard Kiprono Tororey and Michael ole Labula. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Given that nomination of councillors had also to be undertaken, it was, therefore, not possible to constitute a council until Wednesday 9th July, 2009. On this material day, the County Clerk duly administered the oath on the mentioned councillors including the elected 14. Election of the council chairman and chairpersons of various committees were conducted. However, it became apparent that during the elections, the councillors were seriously divided into factions allied to different clans as well as different local politicians. I am sure Mr. Konchella is aware of this. view
