• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Lands the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the land between Plainsview Estate and Mombasa Road in Nairobi, L.R.No.93/1418 has been allocated to a private developer? (b) Is the Minister further aware that this piece of land is a buffer strip and was reserved for public utility? (c) In view of the fact that the Government does not condone grabbing of public land, could the Minister annul the allocation and instruct the developer to vacate the site with immediate effect? view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer, although you can see the arrogance with which he replied to the Question. Just two weeks ago, I spoke to the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs about this issue and he explained to this House that he was going to take action on what is happening to this piece of land. Right now, the piece of land has been fenced. All the time, the police is there trying to protect that land. This is public land and I would like to ask the Assistant Minister ... view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have said, you can see the way the Assistant Minister is misleading this House. I have a sketch map of that piece of land and it exists under the City Council. Could the Assistant Minister, with due respect, think twice and ensure that I personally take him there, so that he can see that the piece of land has been grabbed? The piece of land is on the road-side and the people of that area are always demonstrating because they do not have a way through to Mombasa Road. If this piece of land belongs ... view
• 11 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of police officers being killed and their families being taken for a ride is becoming too much in this country. Sometimes when a police officer has been killed let us say for about only a month, you find the family being chased out of the police lines or told that they are not supposed to take anything from the police station. What is the Assistant Minister doing to ensure that the families of the deceased officers are taken care of by the Government, so that they can feel that they are part of this ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, most of the water projects in urban areas have had a lot of problems since water services were privatised. Could the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs tell the House what mechanisms have been put in place to make sure that the problem is solved? Currently, the problem is even worse than before. There is scarcity of water. People do not get water. view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: What is the Ministry going to do to make sure that the projects that have been funded are going to properly serve the people who are in urban areas? view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, nowadays, land grabbing is not only in Molo District. Here in Nairobi, it is a common thing which is going on right now. Just last week, around Mombasa Road, the police were protecting somebody who had grabbed public land. What is the Ministry doing to make sure that the police, who are collaborating with land grabbers here in Nairobi, desist from doing so? That is a serious matter. If we are going to allow that, all the public land in Nairobi will be finished by the land grabbers! view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that among the Ministries which have done a good job is the Ministry of Energy. However, recently, the Minister for Energy visited our constituencies in Nairobi and initiated the Informal Sector Upgrading Programme. Before he left, he promised our people that everything was going to be done to implement the projects. But the issue of his officers going slow is doing us a big harm, because right now criminals have taken advantage. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what action he is going to take against those officers who are making him to ... view
• 26 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Administration and National Security on the cancellation of the ODM rally which was to take place on Saturday, 29th September, 2007. The ODM had applied for a permit to hold the rally on Saturday and it was given by the Nairobi City Council. The amount of money required was paid and a notice was given to the OCS, Central Police Station. He also stamped and acknowledged it. Unfortunately, yesterday afternoon, we received a letter indicating that the rally had been cancelled. Mr Deputy ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Dr. Kamau has been working in that clinic for more than 20 years. Up to now, he is still an Assistant Commissioner of Police. He has been doing this for the past 12 years. When will the Government promote him to be a Commissioner of Police because he has done a lot of good for this country? view
