    "content": " That would require me to move back to the Cabinet and request them to resolve that. Schools are Government properties. The land is not necessarily in the school’s name, but it is reserved for those schools. However, the title deeds belong to the National Treasury and are registered in their name. It is important for us to assist and proceed to do that. That is the only way we can assure validity and integrity. It is not a bad thing that the Ministry is the one to finally do it. Since 1960, this has not been done. So, we will not leave it to the schools again. Some of the people living around the schools have grabbed some of the school land. In that process, we shall be able to return any grabbed land. On the digitization of parcels of land, which may have disputes, titles or records under interrogation and investigation, first, we capture the records that we have by scanning and putting them as part of the digitization. This does not mean we will be hindered from interrogating those documents. I think the Senator was referring to the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) land. We have cancelled all those titles and we no longer have any problem. However, where we have captured the wrong or disputed land, it might be in court, and we get other records to state otherwise other than what is in our digital system, we will move to put that as part of our record. It is possible within that. As we digitise, we are using the existing land laws. I do not think there will be any compromise or danger in our work."
