• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those two places were declared adjudication areas, under one programme. So, since adjudication in one area was stopped, the process in the other area also came to a standstill. We were actually supposed to get consent for those particular areas, so that we could secure money to proceed with the exercise. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with you but when you are carrying out an adjudication exercise in an area, and there is only one district, it sometimes causes the whole exercise to come to a standstill. We had actually requested for funds for these two particular areas. So, when the exercise was stopped in one area, we were supposed to go back to the drawing board, so that we could request for money for Kaseku settlement area. His Question was about Kwa Drek and Kaseku settlement areas. That is why I am saying that, because of the court order, ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have requested our officers to proceed with the exercise, so that they can at least tell us how much money in required for the portion that is not covered by the court injunction. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we had not received money. The process was ongoing. We had not reached the stage where we were supposed to seek for funds. The exercise starts with getting clearance from the Commissioner of Lands by the Director of Lands Adjudication. As we were doing that, we were told that the land we were talking about actually belonged to somebody else. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am being misquoted because we have not talked about the question of money. I said that we had been given clearance for the process to start. The area chief had called the people and informed them that, that area was going to be an adjudication area for us to settle squatters. Once clearance is obtained, we engage our officers to establish how much money is required, so that we can request for the same from the Ministry of Finance. We had not reached the stage of getting money. We got a court injunction. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in order for the matter to be re-activated, the District Development Committee (DDC) of that particular area must be involved. When talking of adjudication, there must be recommendation from the DDC. The DDC knows that they have been restrained. The suit also involves the Commissioner of Lands. It is for them to write to us and say: “Now that there is a court order on this particular piece of land, can we proceed with the other area that is not affected by the court order?” That way, we can advise our officers to proceed with the ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for me to assist my colleague and friend I request him to come to my office, so that I can call the Director of Land Adjudication to inform him what he is supposed to do, so that the matter can proceed. I also feel bad that this process stalled when we can still activate it and proceed with the matter. view
• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Members of Biribiriet Farm ((L.R No. 5736) were asked to pay Kshs1,407,500 as the purchase price of freehold interest from the Government when they applied for a conversion of tenure from leasehold to freehold tenure. (b) I am aware that the farm was sub-divided at the request of the members and the registry index map released to the Commissioner of Lands in anticipation of issuing titles under Cap.300. Conversion to Cap.300 has been implemented and the Registry Index Map and area list were forwarded to the District Lands Register on 23rd September, ... view
• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what is required of the Ministry at this particular moment because the titles are already lying with the Lands Registry in Trans Nzioa. Every individual is required to go to the Registry to pick his title deed upon the payment of the requisite fees. This is not much money because any title deed is based on the acreage. So, there is not much to be done. The members requested us to convert the system from leasehold to freehold. This is a more superior title deed than the other. view
• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the correct position. view
