    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, regarding the lack of title deeds in various Adjudication Sections in Homa Bay County. This is due to non-completion of adjudication by the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and the National Land Commission (NLC). Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on its inception, one of the mandates of the NLC was to ensure that the land adjudication process in this country was completed in 10 years. In Homa Bay County, a number of sections have not been adjudicated whereas others are incomplete. These has denied the people in those areas security of tenure. In the Statement, the Committee should – (1) State when the adjudication will be concluded in order to pave way for titling at Kubia East in Gwassi and Kaksingri West B in Suba South Constituency, as well as Waware and Wakula Adjudication Sections in Mfangano Island. (2) Explain the reason(s) for non-completion of adjudication in Manyuanda, Rangwe Constituency, Homa Bay County, stating when it is likely to be completed. (3) Outline the measures put in place, if any, by the NLC to eradicate the overlapping adjudication and Land Registration (LR) numbers at Mbita point. In Mbita Town, other than International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE), the rest of the town has overlapping LR numbers and thus the town has no title deed. (4) Undertake a visit to the above Adjudication Sections to ascertain the serious challenges the locals undergo in their land ownership process with a view to aiding in streamlining of the same. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
