• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The reason why I have sat through and supported other departments and ministries is because I would like this Commission to be given money. The disappointment that is being raised in this House has also been raised by the Committee that oversees this Commission. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Let us look at it as a Commission and not the individuals who are there. We need to give it a chance. This is the institution that is supposed to look at historical land injustices and matters of compensation of land in this country. I would like to urge the House to give them the budget as it is. We have made it clear that we are not going to have two digitisation systems. There shall be only one digitisation project which will be implemented by the Ministry. We felt that this was loophole for misuse of funds. I take ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House: The Report of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the Inquiry into the Alleged Irregularities in the Compensation for part of LR No.7879/4 To M/S Afrison Import Export Limited and Huelands Limited by the National Land Commission (NLC) on behalf of the Ministry of Education for Acquisition of Land for Ruaraka High School and Drive-In Primary School. The Report of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the 2018 Annual World Bank Conference on Land and Poverty held in Washington D.C. on March 19th – ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motions: view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Departmental Committee on Lands is one of the committees that have worked with a lot of dedication to go through the Budget. We have also worked very closely with the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I must say that our experience with the current Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee has been very interesting. We engaged and made presentations on behalf of our ministries. We collaborated very well. So, I would like to commend the Chair for the good work. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Lands was constituted to oversee two agencies: the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning and the National Land Commission (NLC). The Committee held consultative meetings with the Ministry and NLC in order to understand their projects and programmes. The meetings were preceded by a briefing by the Parliamentary Budget Office on the Budget of the Financial Year 2018\2019. I would like to thank the Budget Office for that. The Budget expenditure for the Lands Policy and Planning Programme in the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning for this year is Kshs6.020billion. It comprises of Kshs2.6billion for ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: It is also the purpose of the Ministry to ensure that there is development and planning that is done adequately to ensure reforms in the land information management systems, land use and settlements. It should ensure that those programmes are implemented. The Ministry’s requirement for development in Financial Year 2018/2019 was Kshs2.6billion. It is important to note that the Ministry has received Kshs6 billion. I would like the Departmental Committee on Lands to be on record. If you look at the programmes that the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning would like to implement and bearing in mind that it ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: This Ministry is interested in renovation of land registries, which is critical in supporting the digitisation process where survey and maintenance of national land and international boundaries will ensure peaceful co-existence within the local communities and also our borders. In addition, funds are highly required for land control boards. I would like to note that they had been awarded Kshs45 million but, with deliberations, it was reduced to Kshs12 million, which is extremely low for them to operate in 47 counties. The Committee had recommended Kshs95 million but this was not possible. The Committee and the Budget and Appropriations Committee ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Ministry’s medium term expenditure programmes, projects and activities for implementation in Financial Year 2018/2019 include processing and registration of 300,000 title deeds. I would like to comment that about two weeks ago, our Government gave 50,000 title deeds to people in Nairobi County, which is a big step. They look forward to produce 350,000 title deeds for the country. This is why we are saying that it is important to pump more money into titling and registration of land. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: There is also development of the land value index. We will table the Land Value Index Bill this afternoon, which is very important. A lot of Government money has been going to compensation. In some cases, the money is almost the level of implementation of the project. When this national Land Value Index Bill is implemented, it will reduce the money that goes to compensation. I talked about the digitisation of land registries earlier. This will give investors confidence in our country, reduce timelines for registering property and protect investors and property owners from fraudulent land transactions which are happening ... view
