    "content": "(Mr. Ombui): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry is aware of the existence of the cultural shrine of Nabongo Kweyu of Wanga Kingdom and considers this to be a significant national heritage. However, the shrine has been hitherto run as community heritage and, thus, may not have received the national recognition from my Ministry. For my Ministry to consider gazetting and protecting this important shrine, the requisite conditions to be met would be; consultation and consent from the community and its leadership; consultation and consent from the elected leadership; and, comprehensive research and documentation of the significance of the site. Mr. Speaker, Sir, once this is achieved, then a gazette notice for my signature will be prepared. To kick-start the process, I wish to invite the hon. Member to be the link person between the community and my Ministry through the National Museums of Kenya. Since, this is not a gazetted national site, there are no measures taken so far by my Ministry to protect this area. However, as stated above, my Ministry will be pleased to start the process towards protection of the shrine. (b) Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Ministry does not allocate land. That is a function of the Ministry of Lands and the proposed Land Commission. However, once the gazettement is done, my Ministry will support and recommend to the Ministry of Lands such an allocation to the community."
