"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the petition. There are too many historical issues on land ownership. One of the problems we face is that previously the Commissioner of Lands had the power to give out public land however he wanted. By promulgating the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, Kenyans came up with the National Lands Commission (NLC). Unfortunately, 14 years after the NLC was conceptualised and initiated, there are still too many issues. Many of the petitions that come to this House have to do with land issues. I do not know what we will do as a House to make sure that land issues 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"

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the petition. There is need to actualise the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, as much as public and community land are concerned. Most of the challenges arise from communities that stay around large parcels of land occupied by multinationals whose leases have lapsed but there has been silence as to what happens next. You only see changes in activities and names in terms of ownership or companies that run those multinationals. This depicts that there are people somewhere who, once they know that a certain lease has come to an end, quietly engage in the process of changing ownership and the lease period without involving the community. Hon. Speaker, this matter needs to be raised by this honourable House that those multinational land leases be effected and even call for re-surveying of the same. We all understand that anything to do with public land comes with the interests of the natives, and the community at large. Questions will arise: of the natives who were pushed away, where is the 10 per cent required by law? Right now, there are no spaces for public utilities. There are no spaces to build utilities such as hospitals and schools yet those particular leases have lapsed and as we know, when a lease lapses, the rights of that particular property reverts back to the original owner which in this case are the communities that were pushed away by the colonial farmers who ended up being the multinational owners of those particular pieces of land. It is time for the Republic of Kenya acted on this. We have to be serious, candid and implement the Constitution to the letter."

We have some Land Adjudication Officers who change the records in the books. It is first written with a pencil and the next time you go and check, it has been rubbed and another name put. We need to uncover these faceless people. The Cabinet Secretary in charge together with the Principal Secretary (PS) need to get to the bottom of those books which are recorded with pencils which can be erased any time."
