• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have laid on the Table a Report by the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission. It is the second quarterly report for the year 2010 covering the period 1st April 2010 to 30th June, 2010. As you know, we lay on the Table--- view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: (a) My Ministry is aware that there is need to provide more land for public beaches in Mombasa, but it cannot undertake compulsory acquisition of land due to unavailability of funds. The Ministry has not been provided with any budgetary allocation for acquisition of land for public beaches. However, if the Mombasa Municipal Council can avail the funds, the Ministry will assist in compulsory acquisition of the required land. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: (b) The issue of opening all the 18 public beaches in Lake Naivasha has not been brought to the attention of the Ministry. However, the mandate or the responsibility of opening public beaches vests in the local authority - that is Naivasha Municipal Council - which has enforcement powers under the Local Government Act, Cap.265. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have told the hon. Member, our Ministry cannot acquire land by force from anybody. But if the beach is owned by the Government and it is congested and poses a health hazard, then it falls under the Ministry of Public Health. It has a campaign called Bora Afya and it is the one to do that! view

• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, compulsory acquisition is about property which a person got legally. But the Ministry is repossessing public land that was acquired illegally. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can confirm that Kenyatta Beach will never be grabbed. But we cannot expand it because it is surrounded by private land. If the hon. Member has information regarding any land for a school or public land that was grabbed, and he has documentary evidence to prove that fact to my Ministry today, we will revoke that allocation. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, we have never received any request that we acquire through compulsory methods. That is why we have not requested the Treasury to give us money to acquire land compulsorily. view
