• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that Kshs46,700 has been paid, and that the balance will be paid during the second phase of the 2010/2011 Financial Year. During the first phase of the financial year, we could afford to pay just Kshs46,700. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) It is true that there is inconvenience caused by the separate locations of the Ministry of Lands headquarters; Ardhi House, and the Department of Survey offices at Ruaraka. (b) Plans are underway to construct an office building at Survey Field headquarters in Ruraka. When this is completed, there will be room to accommodate the Director of Survey, the Deputy Director of Survey and the rest of the Survey Department staff at Ruaraka. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because of the equipment, we cannot relocate from Ruaraka to Ardhi House and at the same time, we have requested Kshs54,170,646 in the Budget. Out of the Kshs800 million that we sought for in the 2010/2011 Budget, this money is actually indicated there to cover for the expenses of putting up that particular facility in Ruaraka so that the Director and his deputy are actually housed in Ruaraka. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought it was wise on my part to tell the truth. We cannot relocate the Director to Ruaraka because of accommodation. I have actually indicated that we have already sought money from the Treasury so that we can put up this facility. It is supposed to take about three years to be completed. So, they should bear with the situation and in the next three years, the Director and his deputy will be relocated to Ruaraka. As of now, it is actually impossible because of the situation we are in. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the process will start when the money is available. Within three years, we anticipate to have completed the construction. If he wants to see the plans and designs, he could come to my office and he will be shown. As of now, we have started the process. That is why we have requested for this amount of money. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to seek the indulgence of the House if I could answer Question No. 621 on Wednesday. I had spoken to the hon. Member and I have reasons for that--- view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: I am much obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Cheborge A. Ng’eno is occupying Plot No.51 in Chesinende Settlement Scheme, although the actual registered owner is Mr. Kibet A. Turgut. (b) The matter was brought to the attention of the Ministry way back in 1980 and after investigations Mr. Turgut was advised in December, 1988 to seek assistance from the Provincial Administration in evicting the intruder. The issue was revisited once more in June, 1992 and Mr. Turgut was advised to pursue eviction through the court process. view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have made it very clear who the rightful owner of the land is. However, in view of the fact that there is an intruder on that land, the only remedy available to my Ministry is to advise the owner of the land to either use the Provincial Administration or go through the court process. Those are the issues I have raised with the land owner. view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that could be a different Question altogether because my understanding is that a title deed is a title deed, unless challenged in court. I can only abide by what has been directed by the court. In this issue, we have advised the owner of this land to seek redress from the courts so that once that is done--- We are prepared to give evidence because we have certified that this is the rightful owner.
