    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I ask my question, I would like to register my appreciation and thank the Cabinet Secretary for his recent visit to Tana River County together with the team, including the team from the NLC. My question is: Is the CS aware that the promise of the formation of a committee that would fast-track the issuance of title deeds or the issues that we discussed has not happened? Is he aware that the Ministry had indicated that a Committee with representation from the ground will be formed and chaired by the Principal Secretary (PS), Nixon Korir? Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important because, just yesterday, we sat here in a meeting of the Committee on Energy and Petroleum. One of the companies that are investing in the energy sector, informed our Committee that to obtain a wayleave for family land in Kajiado County, they had to pay USD1 million. Now, in Tana River County, we do not have titles to a large extent. If that wayleave was being obtained on ancestral land, we will not get that kind of treatment, and therefore, impoverishing the people further. We are asking the CS if he has formed that Committee. If not, what plans does he have to make sure we get titles in Tana River County? Well, every time you hear these kinds of things – USD1 million for one family just to obtain wayleave – we are losing out as a county. Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, can the CS tell us when this committee will be formed? Can he also tell us how he plans to hurry up the issuance of titles to the people of Tana River County?"
