    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Committee, under the leadership of their Chairman. However, I disagree with the information that was given to the Committee by the Cabinet Secretary. I was not there during that particular session. I had attended peace meetings between the Pokot and the Turkana communities on that day. Otherwise I would have raised some concerns over the information. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I agree with the concerns of the Committee, where they ask the leadership of that area to get further details. The Cabinet Secretary is new in the Ministry. I have lot of respect for her. The problem is that she got reports from the same group of corrupt officials on the ground. Members of the Pokot community are not the only ones who were given plots in the first phase, in respect of which the Committee talked of 90 per cent of allottees being Members of the Pokot. Since Independence, this is the only land that was given to members of the Pokot and Turkana communities, and members of other communities who were living in the ADC farm before. The land was given to the people by Chelang’a in 1997, when he was the Provincial Commissioner. The problem started in 2012, during hon. Orengo’s tenure. There was a time when the Ministry of Lands sent hon. Kamama and the Director of Lands to that place to go and settle those communities that I have mentioned who are the Turkana, Pokot and those others who were working in the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) farm. Hon. Kamama came on behalf of the Minister."
