    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to state in this House and to Kenyans that the Departmental Committee on Lands is not biased in any way and as the Chair, I will work as a Kenyan without fear or favour. One thing I have said is that the Pokots in Phase I benefited 90 per cent for the allocations made and I can repeat again that they benefitted 90 per cent. The other thing that I should be able to say or clarify for hon. Moroto is that there is no other authority over allocation of land, whether it is the DC, Provincial Commissioner (PC) or ADC Director. Therefore, it was just on humanitarian ground that those people who had letters signed by the late hon. Chelanga were settled but it was not an authority. An ADC Director is supposed to develop seed or take care of cattle. On the matters to do with settlement, letters of offer can only be signed by the Director of Settlement. That is how the law is at the moment. However, on the steps to be taken to make sure that there are no conflicts, I have already stated earlier that the local leaders and leadership be involved so that conflicts that are likely to emanate can be sorted at the initial levels."
