• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Procedural Motion, that it is a process towards enactment of laws. Time is limited; we are soon heading for recess. This is a Motion that we should all support. Thank you. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. I would like to start by saying that, as a Chair of Committee, I really support the initial report that was presented by the Departmental Committee on Lands. I took time, as a friend of the Committee, to participate and hear what hon. Charity Ngilu had to say. So, I fully supported the initial report. But with the amendment, I feel that I do not support it. I would like to say a few words about it. First of all, I would like to say ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: of Lands. Therefore, I would like to say that, at times, when you are doing your work in the right way, you may step on the feet of somebody and it becomes a vicious circle. This matter started as a statement which was responded to and it has mutated to a report. I agree that it was a good and I agree that they did a very good job, but I see an ill motive in the amendments that are being done today. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like to say a few points. One, transfers are normal within the ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: However, I would like to point out the requirements for appointment of the Director of Survey. One should have served in the grade of Senior Deputy Director and should have a bachelor’s degree in any of a given number of disciplines. In addition, the candidate should have a masters degree in any of the following disciplines: Land Surveying, Plant Management, Cartography, Photogrammetric, among others. Hon. Speaker, the person who the Cabinet Secretary removed from that office does not have those requirements. The Committee did proper investigations, and I support them. One day, I will also bring a report here from ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is against this background that the Cabinet Secretary acted in the manner she did to benchmark her work as an individual. There are so many things that are pending in that Ministry today. Migingo Island should have been surveyed. To-date, the Government has used Kshs62 million, but there is nothing that has happened in Migingo. The people are waiting for the work to be done. Section 108 of the Lands Act says that the Cabinet Secretary has a responsibility to appoint somebody to sign title deeds during the transition period, before regularization is done. I will look at the ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am talking about public land being used efficiently. As we speak, we have no survey of the LAPSET Corridor. The Government has spent Kshs225 million. The money was spent in February, 2013. Out of that amount, a sum of Kshs150 million was immediately used for procurement of goods and services. Even if I were in her position, I would be worried that the same officers are spending public money without any work being seen. I would also have taken action. A total of Kshs70 million of that money was spent in a different place as Kenyans wait ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, as I conclude, I would like to say that I stand by the original report that was done by the Committee. With regard to the amended version, I do not stand by it. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also respond to the Chair, Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. First of all, I appreciate that our able Chair took time to find out a few details on when this was gazetted. However, I am shocked by the fact that she says or the Committee says that the investigations have brought out facts--- I am not convinced at all when they say that the reason why they are not taking action is because they do not have legal documents to show that this is a game reserve. ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Mine is not a new statement, it is a reminder of a Statement that was read on 1st August, 2013. It was targeted at the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: on Justice and Legal Affairs regarding encroachment of South Kitui Game Reserve, which happens to be in my constituency. This has taken longer than the number of weeks that were promised. The reason I worry is because on the day I requested the Statement it was received by the hon. Member for Galole. I would like to bring it to your attention that he is an interested party. It was ruled by the Speaker that he also attends, not as a Member of the Committee, but as an interested party. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would, therefore, like the two Committees ... view
