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."

"content": "Land issues in this country date back to the colonial period when the European settlers displaced thousands of Kenyans from the white highlands. Nandi County was one of the seriously affected areas. We also have Kericho and other parts of this country. To delve into the issue before this Committee is to really look at the issues bedeviling Kenyans every time a petition is raised. If you look at the issue of the Ngerek - Chepkumia Petition that was brought before this House, the Government took land and converted it into a forest, and up to date the people have not been compensated. We have former highland areas which were European Settler areas like Chemelil and other parts of Nandi County. Right now, the locals are settling there without title deeds."

Speaker, this petition needs to be looked at expeditiously so that the issues affecting the landless people which is very common in Nandi Hills, Tinderet and other parts of the country can be looked at. Sometimes back, there have been petitions from the Coast Region and many other counties. I want you to direct that the Public Petitions Committee looks into these matters and expeditiously bring a report to the House. The House would, therefore, have to find a resolution on how to handle land issues facing Kenyans across the country. I, thank you, Hon. Speaker."
