• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Member who asked the Question. However, I would like to tell him that we have communicated with the District Commissioner and the list of nominees has been sent to our Ministry. With regard to the de-gazettement, by 30th June, all members will have received gazette notices in this reference. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had actually indicated that one circular was sent on 15th January and another one on 24th April this year. If we are told which District Commissioner has not received this circular, we will address that issue. However, we believe that all the District Commissioners in the country have received these circulars of 15th January and 24th April. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issuance of these circulars is a process and if there is any district--- We sent circulars to the District Commissioners up to 15th April. So, if there is any district which has not received the circulars, I am yet to be up dated so that we can communicate to them. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the circulars are not secret. In fact, we request the District Commissioners to convene a meeting because Members of Parliament are members of these Boards. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: (a) Yes, land owners had access to Green Cards in respect to their land until 2002 when the same was stopped. Anomalies such as double allocation, forgeries, encroachment on catchment areas as well as land disputes informed the decision to recall Green Cards. Recalling of Green Cards was aimed at stopping any land transaction until the outstanding issues are settled. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: (b) A task force was established in 2007 to resolve the outstanding issues by identifying problematic areas. It is envisaged that the Taskforce will complete the assignment and give a final report during the 2009/2010 Financial Year. The delay in completing the assignment was occasioned by insufficient funds during the 2008/2009 Financial Year. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with the Questioner but since there is a task force in place, there is very little this Ministry can do because what happened was double allocation. However, the issue of land grabbing needs to be curbed. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a noble idea and we are also in the process of trying to seek for funds to ensure that we computerize. That is an issue that is in the process. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have made our proposal and we intend to put it in the Budget for the Financial Year, 2009/2010. view
