• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Our Ministry, together with other Members of Parliament, has been doing Harambees . We did one for the IDPs sometime in May, 2008. We did another one in February, 2009, for the Sachangwan fire victims. We conducted a third Harambee for the people of Faza Island in September, 2009. So, this was just one Harambee amongst many and there is no reason for it to be a political issue because we have done Harambees for other Kenyans. As these people were leaving the Mau Complex, the officers of the Forestry Service did a profiling exercise. However, it is only normal ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we usually distribute food to the people through the DCs. I said earlier on that the food was distributed to three different districts. The information from the ground is that some of these people belong to Bureti and that some of them are going to relocate to Bomet. The final list was for people who will be going to Kuresoi. So, because of that and the distribution that we had done, there was a lot of confusion. The numbers were too huge and the Provincial Administration was taking their time to reprofile again. That is what ... view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to apologize for coming late because I had to wait for some information which was coming from the DC’s office in Gatundu North. It finally arrived and so I was able to rush here. I am so sorry for having not been here when the Question was called. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that there are thousands of Internally Displaced Persons who have been camping in the 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 IDPs is limited to those affected in the 2007 post- election violence after Legal Notice No. 11 of 30th January, 2008. (c) My Ministry does not have reports of IDPs affected by the 2007 post-election violence from Gatundu North constituency. ... view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in normal circumstances, I should have been excited to hear his voice on the Floor of the House considering that it is his maiden speech. However, considering that he has the wrong information, I must then correct him. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important for hon. Members to know the procedure which is to be followed. The Procedure is not for hon. Members to come up with lists and bring them to our offices. Provincial administrators were tasked to do that. We did the exercise which was supposed to have ended at the end of September, 2009. However, I extended the duration, within which the lists would have been brought to my office, by three months. view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Members are free to bring documents here and table them. However, the procedure for bringing registered lists to our Ministry has to be followed. Members of Parliament were not tasked to be the ones to register IDPs in their areas. That document, whether it was done by the provincial administrators or not, it was not my duty to go there to collect it. I gave an extra time of three months for provincial administrators to deliver the lists to my office. It is not fair for a list to be view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been feeding people in Gatundu North but, according to our records, we are not aware that they were IDPs. So, feeding people is one of the duties and mandates of my Ministry. I continue to feed people all over the country. I am not aware of this particular case and I do not have to stand here to give the wrong information to this House! view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe, if I explain to the hon. Members, it will be easier for them to understand! Even in the list of names of people from Central Province, there were no names of IDPs in Gatundu North. The verification exercise took place for six months, starting from July, 2008 to the end of the year. Where were these people? Why were they not registered then? Secondly, all genuine registers have been counter-signed by two persons, namely, the area District Commissioners (DCs) and our co-ordinators in those districts. Looking at this document, I do not have to go ... view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not even have to go very far. We can even see a list that has been brought here, which is not counter-signed by my co- ordinator! So, it is pretty obvious that politicians are actually coming up with lists! view
