On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to deny the truth? I can prove to him that Peponi Hotel in Lamu discharges waste into the Indian Ocean!

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, land issues, particularly in Lamu, are very crucial. The particular land that we are talking about is a water catchment area for livestock. There are small tribes living there of about 600 families. That allotment letter was issued in December when offices were closed for public holidays. Could the Minister tell us whether he intends to revoke that allotment letter or issuing a title deed to Matt International? That is because Matt International are not farmers. They are known as brokers.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last week when the Prime Minister issued his Statement on the measures that he is taking to improve the investment environment, you ordered that we should be seeking clarifications on that Statement. Do we wait until he comes or can we ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government to answer the same?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I first want to thank the Minister for the action he has taken to stop the allotment. When will the Minister advertise the application and will the due process be followed from the District Development Committee (DDC) and the county council? At the moment, there is a lot of corruption. I believe the Minister will be the first person to keep corruption out of land matters in Lamu.

Asante sana Bi. Naibu Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa nafasi hii kuchangia Hoja hii muhimu sana. Nitachukua nafasi hii kumpongeza Bw. Wamalwa kwa kuleta Hoja hii ya kuwatetea wale waliohamishwa kwenye mashamba yao na ardhi yao. Hakika, ni jambo la kusikitisha sana kwamba hata ukiangalia kwenye kamusi ya Kiswahili, hakuna neno âskwotaâ. Kwa hivyo tunashangaa hili neno âskwotaâ lilitoka wapi? Ni hali ambayo tulibandikwa na Wazungu na tukaibeba, kumalizana wenyewe kwa wenyewe. Kwa hivyo, neno hilo halipo katika kamusi ya Kiswahili. Iliyoko ni kwamba, kuna watu waliohamishwa kwenye mashamba yao na ardhi yao. Jambo lingine ni kwamba Serikali hata kama ...
