• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the project was suspended after consultations between the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance, World Bank and the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, consultation have been going on even as late as last week. We had a session with the World Bank officials. We have agreed that we need to move on now to the Ministry of Finance with the World Bank people so that we can finalise. Although the report is already in the head office, we have not had a feedback from the head office of the World Bank. The World Bank Country Director is willing to discuss and see how we can move on and push for faster resolution where this issue is concerned. view
• 23 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do understand the frustrations of the Member of Parliament. I am just as frustrated as he is, because financial matters are dealt with by the Ministry of Finance and the donor. When it comes to those particular issues, I can only put in a word because I want my project to resume and go on to benefit the people of western Kenya. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to congratulate the Minister for Lands, who has worked with his team, on this very difficult and touching subject for all Kenyans. I just want to point out a few things about community land which he has captured, but not in totality. Whereas everybody is fighting for public land to be reclaimed back from people who acquired it illegally, we are fighting also for the community land. That is because most of the community land, otherwise known as the trust land, has been given out to people who did not deserve to ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Although we were given this land, we were finally told; “Oh; this is private land, you cannot touch it.” How can it be private land when the law has not been followed? How can it be private land when the land was not set aside and even the councils and the communities were never involved? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, people have suffered and I am very happy that the Minister for Lands has specifically pointed out the serious issues in the Coast Province. This is because the Coast Province has got issues which are so different from the rest ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: No, thank you! My colleague, who comes from Nairobi, has not really seen a lot of land problems in Nairobi. They have to live in the Coast Province to understand some of these things. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want the Minister to be empowered by this House to be able to carry out what he intends to do plus more and uphold whatever is in the current Constitution which protects community land. We want the Minister for view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that there are thousands of IDPs who have been camping in Kyeni Forest, Gatundu North Constituency, for 17 years following the 1992 post-election violence. (b) My Ministry has not taken any measures towards resettling the said IDPs. The mandate of the Ministry in resettling the IDPs is limited to those affected in the 2007 post-election violence as per Legal Notice No.11 of 30th January, 2008. (c) My Ministry does not have records of the IDPs affected by the 2007 post- election violence from Gatundu North Constituency. All registers ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we can only take care of Kenyans who have been displaced as we have been mandated. Do we still refer to people who have been in a place for 17years as IDPs or squatters? I get confused by the two terms. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been invited to many harambees . It is the duty of the hon. Member for Gatundu North, if he so wishes, to invite us and we will be there. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we went through our IT system to check whether the list of 1,195 households that the hon. Member laid on the Table comprised of the IDPs. Out of the 1,195 households, 149 were found to be IDPs but were registered elsewhere. Those IDPs were not registered in Gatundu because we have not been given a list from there. Again, from that list, 13 households had received funds for the resettlement of the IDPs. view
