• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: This Ministry is very important, but it is under-funded. If we want to remove industrial unrest in this country, this Ministry should be properly funded, so that it can employ labour inspectors. These labour inspectors will then inspect employers. Employers are paying Kenyans peanuts. An example is the Kenya Airways staff who went on strike the other day. We found out that they are paid a salary of Kshs8,000. This Ministry is the one supposed to inspect employers like Kenya Airways, those of us who employ housemaids and pay them Kshs100 or Kshs200 instead of the minimum wage. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: During Labour Day celebrations, the Minister for Labour or even His Excellency the President normally gives Kenyans false hope that the minimum wage for any employee in urban and rural areas will be so much. Employees are paid so little and yet there is no one to inspect the salaries. In Pan Paper Factory and the Industrial Area here, people work under very bad conditions. This Ministry is supposed to go and inspect the circumstances under which employees are working. They are never inspected because the Ministry is under-funded and employers treat employees as if they are not human beings. ... view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir. I attach a lot of importance to this House. That is why I cancelled my flight to Mombasa because I had two Questions to answer. I beg to reply. (a) Individual titles to individual shareholders have not been issued because the company farm has neither submitted a subdivision scheme for approval nor paid any fees. The approval for subdivision scheme will facilitate survey and subsequent issuance of title deeds. Wrangling and rivalry among shareholders could have occasioned the delay in submitting the subdivision scheme for approval. (b) The Ministry will issue title deeds to the shareholders upon ... view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: This farm has a title deed. They bought the farm as a company and we issued the title deed to the company. So there is no way the Ministry can subdivide a farm that belongs to a company. It is upon the shareholders to decide. view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the title deed was given to the company. It is the prerogative of the company to initiate the sub-division of the farm to the shareholders. That is not within our mandate now. We issued the title deed in the name of the company. So, it is for the shareholders to initiate the sub-division, and not us. view

• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (a) LR.No.12082, Tigoni Market, measuring 1.446 hectares is registered in favour of Kiambu County Council for a term of 99 years with effect from 1st March, 1969. In 1998, a portion of the plot was irregularly excised and planned into nine commercial plots measuring between 0.03 hectares and 0.5 hectares each. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The allocation was based on Part Development Plan No.Kiambu1271/97/12 of 24th December, 1997 which was approved by the Director of Physical Planning and Commissioner of Lands. However, this allocation ignored the fact that the original title deed which is still valid ought to have been surrendered first. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (c) The nine plots were allocated to the following persons – I beg to read the names, because they are only nine: (i) Parcel 69 was allocated to S.A.

• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (d) My Ministry has, through the Commissioner of Lands, directed the cancellation of the said leases. My Ministry has undertaken an exercise to document all public utility land in the country and the policy has been to issue title deeds of such land to the Permanent Secretary, Treasury. Where the public institutions have the legal capacity to hold title deeds, then the title deeds are issued directly to them. view
