• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Kwa hayo machache, ninapinga Hoja hii. Asante sana. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (a) Archers Post Military Training area, which is in Ewaso Nyiro Division of Samburu East District, was gazetted on 31st October, 1977, as a military training area by the Commissioner of Lands. That is vide Gazette Notice No.3210 dated 31st October, 1977. The area involved is about 83,327 acres. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (b) I am not aware that the military training exercises carried out beyond the gazetted area are interfering with the community grazing area. However, military training is restricted to the gazetted areas, where live ammunition is used during the exercise, for the safety of the community and wildlife. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: But where live ammunition is not used, the military undertakes normal training in any part of the country in liaison with the Provincial Administration. That ensures that the community is informed of the presence of the military and hence, there is no interference with the flora and fauna. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (c) Since the military operates within the laid down training regulations, and the training exercise takes a very short duration, there is no deprivation of the grazing land belonging to the community. In those circumstances, no action needs to be taken by the Ministry. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with a lot of humility and great respect for my colleague, who has been an administrator like myself, the procedure used by the Government to acquire public land is that, if it is trust land, the request goes through the county council, which then approves. If it is individual land, the Commissioner of Lands would normally issue an acquisition notice and, therefore, go ahead to acquire. I believe that, in 1977, when that land was set aside, that procedure must have been followed. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the docket of roads falls under the Ministry of Roads. I think the military should be commended for assisting the community. We are sinking boreholes and constructing dams all over the country. Where need arises, like in Mount Elgon where there were no roads, we have opened up roads. In Maralal, we have also opened up roads, although it is not in our docket. We have not been given resources to do that. We do that out of our allocation. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think even outside the military training areas, all over the country, you will find many white and black people. That could happen between two persons who agree to do whatever they do. But if there is any proof that any women were raped, we are prepared to investigate. That notwithstanding, even the British Government has already compensated some people who were born white. So, I think those women should not go about with white people thinking that they will get compensation. view
