"content": "Land is a very sensitive issue that directly affects the socio-economic stability of any society. The issue of land in Nandi dates back to the colonial era. The issue of Kapkakaron land is one of the many land injustices that we have really experienced in Nandi. Of the 400 claims that came forward to the NLC, 10 per cent came from Nandi. We have many people who were displaced when the colonialists came in to cultivate tea, sugarcane and many other crops. The original landowners who lived in those lands were, therefore, displaced. Some of the said displacements did not only happen during the colonial era but also between 1970’s, 1980’s up to the late 2000’s. This is a very serious matter and I applaud Hon. Kitur for bringing it so that we can discuss it in full and also encourage NLC to look into it so that those people who were displaced can be given back their land. The multinationals need to sit down and figure out a way to compensate the original landowners. I, therefore, stand to support this petition by the Member."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the petition by my good friend and brother. As we all know, land is a factor of production and we have had a lot of land injustices in this country because of leases that expire. We have witnessed situations whereby people have been chased and at times their properties demolished because of the purported expired leases. Therefore, the idea by my brother to have this petition before the Public Petitions Committee is a great relief. I hope and pray that the Committee would be able to work fast on it. However, as you may have known, too many petitions that have been given to the Public Petitions Committee have not been processed. My fear would be that such a great petition, would again delay before the same Committee. My prayer is that as important as the petition may be, the Committee might be forced to work harder and look into this petition because land is a very emotive issue as well as a factor of production. Delaying on this petition would be delaying justice for the many people affected by this issue. I stand to support."

They have the wherewithal and the technical know-how to expeditiously address this matter. Whichever way we look at it and the recommendations that the House would makes would have to be referred back to the National Land Commission to address this matter."

"content": "This brings into question the issue of land information management system in this country. This process began with the Njonjo Commission Report. It was then continued in the Ndung’u Report and was re-started a few years ago in the Ministry of Lands by trying to digitise the land information management system to an extent that nobody will ever claim land that do not belong to them and proceed to falsely, register it to their name. Again, the provision of the Land Registration Act is explicitly clear on the process to be followed. I, sincerely, believe that in as much as Parliament is obligated to listen to any petitions, if the Member would have consulted me, I would have advised him on the easier and expeditious way of handling such a matter. But the fact that he has brought it for public debate, I agree it is a good petition, and we hope and pray that the Public Petitions Committee will do justice so that within the shortest time possible, the matter is determined, and referred to the relevant constitutional commission to resolve it."
