• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my colleague is very right, but the fact of the matter is that in Item No.2, the owners of this land are denied access. Some LBDA officers have actually been taken to court and the subject matter is the access to this, particular piece of land. That is why I am saying I need your directions. view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I get your directions I will proceed to answer the Question because I have no problem. The issue of part (a) of the Question is very clear. I would be more than willing to answer the Question provided I get directions from you. When we go to part (b) of the Question it is there. My answers are limited because--- view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek the indulgence of the House to answer this Question on Wednesday because it concerns another Ministry, which I want to consult before giving a proper answer. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when interrogating the answer, it came to light that the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 was actually involved. That is why I am seeking time to give an appropriate answer to the Questioner. I thought it wise for me to seek this extension, so that, at least, I can have the information from this other Minister. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I am much obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the people who were relocated to Shaviringa in Hamisi District from Mbale in Vihiga District in 1991/1992 to pave way for the construction of Vihiga Headquarters and District Hospital have not been issued with title deeds. (b) Title deeds shall be issued once the process of degazetting the affected part of the forest is done as per the provisions of Section 28 of the Forest Act (2005). Thank you. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the relocation was being done there was an understanding between the provincial administration and the Forest Department. Up to now, the Forest Department has not done what they were required to do for them to give the land to us so that we process the title deeds. After the gazettement is done and the matter brought to Parliament for resolution, only then can we now process the issuance of title deeds. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that should have been the correct Ministry to address this matter because we were just supposed to issue title deeds once the land is made available to us. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, consultations could be done but as late as last week on Thursday when I communicated with the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife, they said that they want at least another 30 days because the matter is already with the Forest Department in Western Province. They need to resolve the matter so that it comes to Parliament; once it is passed, I can come to settle this issue. view
