"content": "180 days of the tabling of the report. This was actually for the benefit of the people who were left on the farm by someone else; (ii) The Directorate of Criminal Investigations investigates the officers in the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning who may have caused loss of public funds by effecting fraudulent transactions relating to LR No.5875/2, and the Director of Public Prosecutions prosecutes any person found culpable within 90 days of tabling of the report; and, (iii) That the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning secures the title relating to LR No.23393 with a view to ensuring that innocent Kenyans do not lose money through fraudulent transactions, as evidenced by the attempt to amalgamate it with LR No.5875/2. In following up on the implementation status of the above recommendations, the Committee held numerous meetings with the Cabinet Secretary and other officials of the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning and those of the NLC. The Committee notes that the House had directed that the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, in consultation with the National Land NLC and the Nairobi County Government, to complete the titling process for LR No.5875/2 within 180 days of the tabling of the report. This is yet to be implemented over two years later. It is an unnecessary delay which is causing a lot of hardship to people who are supposed to benefit from this report of Parliament. On the implementation status, as regards the recommendation that the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, in consultation with the NLC and the Nairobi County Government to complete the titling process for LR No.5875/2 within 180 days of tabling of the report, the Committee notes that this has not been implemented. The Cabinet Secretary submitted that this resolution could not be implemented due to the advisory by the Attorney-General vide letter Ref. AG/CIV/47/20 dated 11th August 2020 to the National Assembly indicating that the land parcel LR No.5875/2 belonged to the Kenya Defence Forces. As regards the recommendation that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) investigates the officers in the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning who may have caused loss of public funds by effecting fraudulent transactions relating to LR No.5875/2 and the Director of Public Prosecutions prosecutes any person found culpable within 90 days of tabling of the report, the Committee is yet to receive a report from the DCI. So, nothing has been done, which is causing further hardship to the beneficiaries of that land. As regards the recommendation that the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning secures the title relating to LR No.23393 with a view of ensuring that innocent Kenyans do not lose money through fraudulent transactions, as evidenced by the attempt to amalgamate it with LR No. 5875/2, the Committee notes that LR No.23393 is registered in favour of Kasarani Mall Limited. The parcel is adjacent to LR No.5875/2, and is not in contention given that the application by Kasarani Mall Limited for amalgamation of the two properties was never finalised. This recommendation has, therefore, been implemented. Following observations made after deliberations on the implementation status, the Committee makes the following recommendations: (i) The House should initiate the process of removal of the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning for failure to implement the House’s resolution that the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, in consultation with the NLC and the Nairobi County Government to complete the titling process for LR No.5875/2 within 180 days of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
