    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the land belonging to some public schools in Trans-Nzoia is alleged to have been seized by certain individuals. (b) The names of the schools whose land has been alienated are as follows: Wamalwa Kijana Academy, St. Josephs Primary School, Milimani Primary School, Tuwani Primary School, Trans-Nzoia Primary School, Soyo Conservation Primary School, Kitale Forest Primary School, Masinde Muliro Primary School, Lukana Primary School, G.K Remand Primary School, Kitale Academy, Rumuru Primary School, Mosoriot Primary School, Kapsingali Secondary School and Boma Secondary School. The people or institutions which have been mentioned in connection with schools' land alienation are: Nathaniel Tum, Tai Family, Lazarus Rotich, Kipsenga and PAG Church. Further investigations are on-going to establish whether there are other individuals and 3282 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 1, 2006 private developers who are also involved in the seizure of schools' land. (c) The Ministry and other relevant arms of Government are already investigating the allegation. Once the investigations are completed, the Ministry will take appropriate action. Individual schools management committees have been advised to immediately commence the process of acquiring title deeds for their schools' land. They should liaise with the provincial and district education boards, district land and adjudication officers and the District Lands Control Board for acquisition of the title deeds. This will ensure that encroachment by potential land grabbers is prevented. Some cases of land seizures are already in court and others have been referred to the land office for arbitration. Where cases are in court, the provincial education boards and district land boards have been instructed to make follow-ups and update the Ministry on the progress and outcome."
