• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As it has been rightly said by the hon. Member for Nakuru, part "c" of this Question has not been answered. The Assistant Minister has been asked to answer it. Secondly, how much was paid as compensation? What was the value of the 246.132 acres of land which were compulsorily acquired from the company? view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Usually, when students are taken to Form I, they are around 13 or 14 years old. Therefore, they are not capable of entering into a legally binding contract. So, it is actually the parents who enter into an agreement with the school. Why should the student be made to suffer because of the fault of his parents? What would happen if the parent, who took that child to school and entered into a contract, died? Why are you penalizing the students who are not privy to the contracts signed between the schools and the parent? view
• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this road C69 as the Assistant Minister has rightly said, is under construction, especially the section between Kinangop and Kipipiri constituencies. The area which is not being constructed is impassable. However, the Ministry has not earmarked money for maintaining this road. It may take two to three years to complete construction. What measures is he taking to ensure that even the area which is not under construction is maintained until the contractor comes to improve it to bitumen standards? view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs has said that the money was actually allocated to service areas which are served by the Rift Valley Water Services Board. One of the towns around Nakuru, which may not be in the Rift Valley, but which is in the source of the water for Nakuru, namely the River Marewa and Konoike Dam, is called Murungaru; there is also Miharati Trading Centre. When are those towns, as per the agreement, going to be supplied with water? They fall within the catchment area of this major supply to Nakuru ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me follow up the issue from where Mr. Mbau left it. One of the biggest problems we have is that even if we advise this Government about the grabbing of public land, no action seems to be forthcoming. For example, in my constituency, we have even given documentary evidence to the Government and the Ministry of Education. Somebody by the name of Mr. David Kamau Ndirangu has actually grabbed--- view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not settling scores, but this has 4292 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 3, 2007 also been said in this House. I will, however, not go that direction. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, somebody has actually grabbed land and obtained a title deed for a school called Ragia Primary School. We have given the document to the Ministry of Education to try and repossess this land. The school is actually holding the piece of land, but somebody is holding the title deed. The Government cannot assist even in reverting the position and have the title reverted ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am asking a question. Arising from what Mr. Mbau was saying, we are worried that the Government is not taking immediate action when we raise these issues. That is why Mr. Mbau was trying to insist--- If the Government cannot take action after being given the documentary evidence, could the public be asked to go and deal with this matter? That is really our concern. The problem is actually about the Government failing to table the Ndung'u Report in this House and to take action. view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs said that his Ministry is in the process of repossessing land which was grabbed. What about the other Ministries? As the Leader of Government Business, has he advised the other Ministries to do the same as his Ministry? view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this problem is not peculiar to Teso District. The greater Nyandarua District, which has now been split into two, does not have a law court. People from Nyandarua South, which is Kinangop and Kipipiri, have to travel about 62 kilometres to Nyahururu for them to seek justice. Those who are lucky may have their cases filed either in Nakuru High Court or in Naivasha. The problem in Nyandarua is not even the creation of the new district. Even the old district does not have a law court. We used to have a law court in Turaga and ... view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the issue here is whether there is blockage of the access from the Nakuru Teachers Estate to the main road. If there is no access to the main road, the local authority has a duty to compulsorily acquire part of that land and create an access road for the Nakuru Teachers Estate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister explain whether the Nakuru Teachers Estate can have an access road to the main road or not? view
