• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to inform the House that you ordered that two committees sit to address these issues – the Committee on Delegated Legislation which I chair and the Departmental Committee on Lands chaired by my co-chair, hon. Mwiru. We sat as a joint committee and ultimately we invited the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Lands. It was the position that she was to address the various issues raised by hon. Mbadi and I wish in a summary, because the report is quite long, to specify the following regarding the issues raised by hon. Mbadi: view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: That the Cabinet Secretary informed the Committee that for efficient and effective service delivery and after consultation, the Directorate of the Public Service Management vide letter MDP/DPMSM.1/3/LA XLIV(80) dated 10th of September, 2013 transferred the Director of Surveys and Deputy Director out of the Ministry of Lands. It should be noted here that according to the Cabinet Secretary the transfers were actually effected by the Department of Public Service Management under the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. In place of those two, Director and Deputy Director, one Mr. Cesare Mbaria and Julius Kiplagat Rotich replaced the Director and Deputy Director ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the acting Director of Survey, Cesare Mbaria had the following qualifications. He held a Master of Science Degree in Computer Based Information Systems with a bias on GIS based Land Information Management Systems and a Bachelor of Science degree in Surveying. He also held a Postgraduate Diploma in Photography and Integrated Map and Geo-information Production. These are the qualifications of the Deputy Director. She went ahead to also specify the qualifications of Julius Kiplagat Rotich and because Members have this report I wish not to really go through the details that she specified the qualifications of Mr. Rotich. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, the next question by hon. Mbadi is the legal basis for the appointment of the Director and the Deputy Director and the justification given by the Minister is that the appointments were not substantive and were in an acting capacity to ensure normal operations within the department were not disrupted. Substantive appointments thereafter will actually be done by the PSC. That was the position given by the Cabinet Secretary on the question of the legal basis of the appointments. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on the reasons why the PSC was not involved, the Cabinet Secretary said that the substantive appointments again had not been done and will be done by the PSC. The other two questions on whether the appointments were done in line with the Government policy of reducing the wage bill and whether the appointments were conducted in a fair, open and competitive manner, the Cabinet Secretary again said that all that will be done once the PSC does substantive appointments to those positions. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, hon. Gitari on the other hand had also five questions: One, why the Cabinet Secretary revoked the appointment of Mabea from signing titles; two, why the Cabinet Secretary appointed Peter Kahuho as the acting Director-General despite the National Land Commission faulting the move; three, why the Government seal was removed from Ardhi House and taken to Ruaraka survey office and the procedure of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: appointment of such public officers. Finally, why 1,700 leases prepared prior to the appointment of the new Director have not been signed yet. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, again by way of summary because I do not intend to really go through the entire report, the Cabinet Secretary informed the Committee that the Commissioner of Lands was appointed under the Registration of Titles Act which was then repealed when we passed the Lands Act 2012 and the new Act does not provide for the office of Commissioner of Lands. That is the reason given by the Cabinet Secretary. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On why the Cabinet Secretary appointed Mr. Peter Kahuho as the acting Director- General despite the National Lands Commission faulting the move, according to the Cabinet Secretary she actually confirmed to the Committee that she consulted the National Land Commission and there was no disagreement on the appointment of Peter Kahuho as the person to sign titles. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, number three on why the Government seal was removed from Ardhi House and taken to Ruaraka, according to the Cabinet Secretary she found no problem with that because this is a function of the Ministry and it can be taken to any office depending on the need that is required. view
