• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, over 20 structures in Kitui Village of Pumwani Ward, Kamukunji Constituency were forcefully demolished without notice by a group of soldiers from the Moi Airforce Base in Eastleigh on 27th September 2019, thereby depriving hundreds of Kamukunji residents of their daily livelihood and source of sustenance. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this unwarranted action by the Kenya Air Force has propagated heightened tension in the affected areas of Kamukunji because the aforementioned soldiers threatened to return and carry out more demolitions. Hon. Speaker, the official designated and gazetted Moi Air Force Complex and Airbase Ward occupies a land mass virtually the size of Kamukunji Constituency itself. This makes Kamukunji the most densely populated constituency in Kenya. That is in view of the 350,000 people occupying an area of less than five square kilometres in size. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Moi Air Force Base has, over the years, encroached and irregularly expanded into Eastleigh South Ward, California Ward and lately Pumwani Ward, which has led to direct conflict with civilians, especially in view of the fact that the Kitui Village demolitions took place more than a kilometre from the official Moi Air Force Base border. Hon. Speaker, in 2011, bulldozers were used to demolish houses in Kitui Village, Kiambiu, Eastleigh Section Three and Biafra, following which the Departmental Committee on Lands tabled a Report in the House calling for immediate suspension of further demolitions and evictions in ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: (i) Has the Government, thorough the Ministry of Lands and NLC, undertaken a comprehensive survey and a thorough audit to clearly determine the legal borders and limitations of the Moi Air Force Base in Eastleigh and, if not, when will this urgent undertaking be conducted? (ii) What specific remedial interventions, including putting a stop to any further demolitions pending the aforementioned survey, as well as consideration of compensation and resettlement, is the Ministry of Defence pursing in addressing the plight of Kamukunji Constituency residents who have been displaced or evicted from their usual dwellings or whose structures have been demolished ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: There are two elements to this inquiry. One is the demarcation of the land to ensure that we end the civilian-military conflicts in that neighbourhood. The fact is that many people had their properties demolished. There has been no compensation or redress to the affected communities who are the suffering weak and low-income members of our community. The second element of my query is compensation for people affected by demolitions. I think that is where the Ministry of Defence and the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations comes in. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Indeed, I had raised this issue in the Committee and they recommended that I should also raise it with the Ministry and Departmental Committee for Lands. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to get your attention. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.428 of 2019, directed to the CS for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. The national Government had committed to build 4,400 houses. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The national Government had committed to build 4,400 houses as part of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Big Four Agenda and the Social Housing Programme in my constituency. What is the status on construction, including carrying out of public participation, surveys and community census, of the 4,400 affordable houses in Kiambiu Informal Settlement in Kamukunji Constituency as identified by the Government’s Social Housing Programme in 2018? view
