• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer, especially for realising that it is an illegal activity that has been going on. This has been going on under the supervision of the Provincial Administration. He says he is liaising with the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to stop this illegality. What disciplinary action will he take against whoever is supervising the construction? view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my humble request that, in order to protect that land from further grabbing by any other person in the future, the Assistant Minister commits himself to issuing documents for the same. view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, the following Question by Private Notice. (a)Could the Minister explain the circumstances under which the Kirinyaga South District Commissioner (DC) is providing Administration Police (AP) security to hired goons to harvest farmers’ rice? (b)What disciplinary measures are contemplated against the DC for the illegal act? view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not true that farmers’ rice is not being harvested. As we speak now, people have called and told me that over 20 AP officers are in the paddy fields protecting goons who have been hired to harvest rice without the knowledge of the owners.

• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my understanding is that some of those documents have been doctored to suit--- view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need to peruse those documents before I qualify what I am saying. That is because I have never heard of a meeting between the farmers and the SACCO. I have been requesting the District Commissioner (DC) to have--- view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have gone through the bundle of documents that were laid on the Table. The number of members who went to the meeting is 17. In Mwea, we have over 8,000 farmers. This means that many of them did not go for the meeting. I have one request to make to the Assistant Minister; could he consider not providing security, that is, deploying the APs until we hold a consultative meeting between us, the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security; the Ministry of Co- operative Development and Marketing; and, the Ministry of Lands? view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, although the Assistant Minister has indicated that the Ministry has considered terminating the contract awarded to that contractor, what action will the Ministry take against the Resident Engineer who has allowed the present circumstances to prevail? view
