• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise for coming late. view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for the honest answer that he has given. This is a weighty matter, where goats were stolen and herdsmen killed. When the herdsmen made a distress call, there was no immediate response. One of the reasons for the slow response was that the policemen in that police post were engaged in charcoal view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, I thank the Assistant Minister for the job well done. First, I thank him for assuring the House that the postmortem will be done free of charge. This was the agony of the family that had visited the hospital and police station on various occasions but was told to pay before the postmortem could be done. I think the family can go to the hospital so that the postmortem can be done now that it will be free. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in criminal cases like this one, where people have been killed and it ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. When we talk about Parliament we are not referring to the building; we are referring to hon. Members who represent Kenyans. Sometimes, in Parliament, we stay in our own cocoons. We always carry old skins which we should be able to shed now. We must embrace change. Change has already started. A year ago the parliamentary proceedings were not live. Now they are. The reason for this is for Parliament to open up, so that Kenyans can know exactly what business is discussed in Parliament because many did ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. If this is the response from the Government, the hon. Member has got the import of the Motion wrong. The issue was not to have--- view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, still, it is a point of order. The import of the Motion was not to encourage tourism for Members of Parliament. It is an occasional sitting outside Parliament Buildings. view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) why the process of land adjudication/demarcation which started more than 40 years ago in the adjudication units of Akirang’ondu, Amwathi 1, Amwathi 2, Naathu, A/Kiongo, Athiru Ruujine and Kawiru has not been completed; and, (b) whether he could give a definite time-frame within which the process will be completed and title deeds issued. view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied with the answer given by the Minister. view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied with the answer from the Minister because he said that it is the complexity of the exercise that has caused the delay. This exercise started three years after Independence, that is, 1966. Since then, nothing has happened up to now. Even the first charge has not been completed. This is an area where the land officers have taken upon themselves, with impunity, to own land which they have not bought and hence the many objections that have been registered. Could the Minister confirm how many plots were registered in Akirang’ondu section and, ... view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer I have received is very unsatisfactory. I know that the Minister is new in that Ministry, but the root cause of the problem in that area started 43 years ago. It is mainly corruption on the part of the lands officers. In the areas that I have mentioned, Akirang’ondu and Amwathi 2, the lands officers own the land there. They never bought the land. They snatched it from the people! It is not only the lands officers at the adjudication section but even officers at the Ministry Headquarters in Nairobi are involved! Today, my ... view
