• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I admit that the process started in 2009. Again, on behalf of the Ministry, I apologise for the delay. That is why we have hastened the process. view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill. I would like to say, from the outset, that I support this Bill with amendments. I will only support it when it is amended in some areas. The first reason why I support this Bill is because it makes the Constitution operational. On that basis, I support the Bill. Secondly, I support the Bill to remove the notion that MPs decide their own salaries and allowances. On that basis, I will support it. Thirdly, I will support it because when ... view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, I do a lot of research. If this Bill is passed as it is, it will infringe the Constitution that we passed. If anybody goes to court, it will nullify the Act. We are intelligent enough to foresee what can easily come. That is why I pray to my colleagues that we do a thorough job, instead of waiting for somebody to, later on, go to court and have this law nullified. Why should we work so hard and pass this Bill, and have it assented to by the President only for ... view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: As I said, I will only support this Bill with amendments. If it is not going to be amended, I will withdraw my support for it despite the fact that I am in Government. view

• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have told the hon. Member, we have gazetted the Board. If it is not yet operational, there must be some logistical problems, which we can sort out. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of non-payment of allowances to members of district land control boards does not affect Njoro District alone. It is actually a national problem. We have even written to the Treasury on the matter, in respect of which arrears are in millions of shillings, but the Treasury has not given us the money. On the day we will be given the money, we will pay allowances to all members of district land control boards across the country. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree that we have not paid members of those boards their allowances, which are in arrears. Leave alone those who have not been paid for the last three years, there are others who have not been paid for the last five years. We have written to the Treasury. We will pay them even tomorrow if the Treasury gives us the money. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of operationalising lands control boards is a matter for the DCs to initiate. So, if the DC, who is the chairman, has not started operations of the lands control board in his area, I would request the hon. Member to liaise with him, so that they can operationalise the land control board in that area. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
