• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to report that we are in the process of opening up registries in areas that had no registries. This is in line with what the Government is doing. We are making sure that all our land records are digitised. This will help us do away with most issues that have been rampant in the land sector. We are going to bring these services closer to wananchi. Soon, we will open registries in areas that had none. This will make sure that the problem of acquiring titles and other land documents is availed ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like this House to note that even when it comes to budgeting, the Ministry presents the budget for itself and the NLC. However, when it comes to giving, the NLC receives the budget and manages it without consultation with the Ministry. This independence is what makes us, as a Government, not to collaborate easily with the NLC. They do the major processes and we come in at the tail-end to receive the allotment letters to process the leases. The problem is that this is an independent institution, which is supposed to work with ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you, Sen. Mungatana MGH, for appreciating my visit to Tana River County. It is true we agreed with the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources and leaders from Tana River County, that we will form a committee to look into matters of land. I wish to report that, already, we have started receiving memorandums from the ranches as agreed. We want to involve every person and stakeholder, so that this committee is fully represented. We are on course and I promise once that is done, we will have that committee. With that, we ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mandera and Tana River counties are all under community land. I wish to report that we have started gazetting those lands. After that, we will ensure the communities living in that area get titles. The Community Land Act is now in operation. I assure you this Government is keen to make sure that every person who does not have tenure documents – titles – gets them. It is in the manifesto of the Kenya Kwanza Government. As a Ministry, we are working hard to make sure that we fulfil that promised to Kenyans. Therefore, Mr. ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have many settlement schemes that have not been titled. Mochongoi Settlement Scheme is one of them. I wish to assure you, Senator, that we are doing everything possible to make sure that all the settlement schemes across the country receive title deeds. I promise this august House that we are doing everything to make sure all these titles are given to view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am informed by the National Land Commission (NLC) that payments are being processed. They will be paid soon. view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is true. We have had problems with double allocation where you find one parcel of land has more than one title. I want to assure this House that the problem will be sorted out once we are fully digitised. This is a process that we have started as a Ministry. We have started with Nairobi’s registries and soon, we will be rolling out the same programmes in other counties. We want to detach people from manual files. That is where this problem of double allocations comes from. So, with digitisation, I assure this House ... view
• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Chairperson, I hope to withdraw the amendments. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Petition. I wish to draw the attention of the Senate to the fact that the earlier Statement brought by Sen. Iman was also leaning on the same. I would have wished to ride on that Statement earlier, but allow me to do so now. The health sector in this country is in crisis. We allocate equitable revenue in this House to counties. In most corrupt counties, those resources are used in infrastructure development because that is where you can get your kickbacks earlier at the expense of health services. As ... view
