    "content": " Hon. Senator, if you mean colonial villages, I had already answered that question and said that during my tenure, I am going to finish titling for all the colonial villages. I know where Maina Village is. There are many such villages where titling is a problem. This is because, most of the time, the land does not belong to the people living there. They are parcels of land given to them either by the chiefs or by people who just come, grab and start issuing titles wherever they find empty land. It is not easy to first issue titles because all titles follow planning. The way most of those houses are built, you will find that even planning for roads, sewerage purposes or facilities becomes very complicated. I am aware that we have been asked to do titling for Maina Village in Laikipia and we are looking at it. I can give you details of whether that would be done. It is quite a task but we will endeavor to see---. This is because, the cases of how small can you go in terms of the parcels of land also becomes a big challenge. Some people own places that are not even 0.0000 something. Therefore, you can imagine that it is not an easy task. I am coming back to this House before June with the National Land Policy. I think I have answered that question. In terms of the regulations, you can help us think through because we will be coming to you. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not answer the question on water, sanitation and sewerage by the Senator for Wajir County. However, he knows that where we build, we work with other Government agencies to provide necessary facilities, be it water or sewerage. If there is no water, we will ensure there is connectivity. If there is no sewerage, then, we will be able to provide necessary sewerage system for that specific project."
