• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not just a matter of issuing identity cards to people. There is the problem of those who issue identity cards and passports. Last week, a lady boxer in our country was arrested on suspicion of holding Kenyan identity card or passport. What is the Assistant Minister doing to the officers under him who issue passports and identity cards to mamluki and those suspected of not being Kenyans? view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that some District Roads Committees (DRCs) do not meet and take these issues seriously. The Minister agrees with this fact. In Nairobi, we have not met for more than a year. What is he doing to make sure that the District Engineers and the DRCs meet regularly as was the case before? view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Mover of this Motion for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion, especially for me, being an hon. Member from the City of Nairobi. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the area I represent is a time bomb. I am saying this November 15, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3681 because most of that area belonged to the Nairobi City Council and has been grabbed, and the land has been turned into commercial property because of greedy leaders; in fact, by some of our leaders who are ... view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Especially the hon. Member who is pointing at me; he has got a very big piece of land in my constituency! view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is something that we should understand when talking about land. Let us not pretend, because right now, the grabbers have built what I can call "Kayole-type houses" on the land which was grabbed from the Nairobi City Council. It is very sad! It is very important that this country addresses that issue now. If we are not going to address it as hon. Members, and just sit down and say that we are the ones who are talking for the poor; and we know that we are not, we are actually just putting this ... view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Local Government:- (a) what criteria was used to increase rent for City Council houses in estates within Eastlands; and, (b) when the houses were last rehabilitated. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. However, most tenants of City Council houses are people who struggle to make ends meet. The Assistant Minister says that other tenants of privately-owned houses pay more. The rent increase was suspended through a Ministerial statement by the late Minister for Local Government, Mr. Maitha in 2004. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House why the Ministry ignored the directive by the late Minister that rents for City Council houses should not be increased until the houses are rehabilitated? view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that the rent charged for those houses was increased because they had been charging low rents for quite a long time. He has also stated that they are now receiving a lot of money as a result of that increment. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House when they are going to renovate the Nairobi City Council houses now that they have enough money? view
• 7 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not only in Emuhaya where there are no police lines. All police stations have no toilets or running water, yet prisons are being rehabilitated. What is the Assistant Minister doing to make sure that these police stations all over the country are rehabilitated? view
