    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Adjudication process has not been completed in these sections due to the complexity of the Land Consolidation Act, Cap. 283 which involves fragment gathering and consolidation of the same into viable units. This, in turn, has led to displacement of people and raising many land disputes therefore derailing the process of adjudication. Many adjudication sections were declared at the same time in the larger Meru District and since adjudication is a process, some have already been registered and the exercise is ongoing in other sections and at various stages. Previously statutory provisions in the Land Adjudication Act required that all objections to the adjudication registered be heard before the adjudication sections could be finalized and registered. However, these provisions have not been repealed to enable the process to be expedited. Elections and re-elections of committee members in some sections delay the work as the new committee members take time before acquainting themselves with the process of adjudication. The high number of court cases has also contributed to the delay as the officers are called upon to attend court sessions. It should be noted that there is no adjudication section called Kawiru. This is a village within Athiru Ruunjine adjudication section. (b) I cannot be able to give a definite time-frame within which the process will be completed and title deeds issued. The Ministry of Lands has written a proposal requesting for adequate funding to complete the adjudication process countrywide including Igembe North Constituency."
