    "content": "Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand guided, although I had not been advised earlier and thank you for noting that. I will be quick enough, so that I can give some time for Members to contribute. Confusion that is arising is that a will had been deposited with the Barclays Bank by Arnold Bradley and it was registered as a probate in that particular bank. Mr. Da Gama Rose, was a lawyer for this particular bank, the Barclays Bank. In the purported transfers around and about 2005, he appears to be one of the people dealing with this particular parcel of land. However, the address of the lawyer and that of the transferee are the same. I do not know whether it is quite healthy that a transferee and a transferor on behalf of the bank possess the same address. I do not know that but you are a lawyer, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Between 1978 and 2005, we do not see John Mugo anywhere. However, we see Telesource Company Limited being active. The directors of Telesource are registered as one Josphat M. Konzolo and Mary Noel Imbaga Konzolo. They are the owners of Telesource Ltd. The observations of the Committee are as follows: The land in question seems to have been transferred to individual owners. About 100 pieces have been transferred and the remainder are in the proprietor’s, Telesource’s name. The Ministry does not have records to prove Muchanga’s acquisition. What the Ministry has are court documents, served and filed in support of Muchanga’s petition. In the documents, there exists a provisional sale agreement between Muchanga and Barclays Bank. The certificate of title by Muchanga, LR No.37285, does not correspond to any LR No. in the Ministry’s Registry. Up to 1978, the title document submitted by Muchanga Investment and Telesource Company show the same entries. They show the same entries on the original title for Arnold Bradley. However, in 1983, there was an entry where LR No.3586/2/3 which is now LR No.3586/3 was transferred to Muchanga on 11th of February 1983. That is on Muchanga’s title deed. Then the correspondence entry on the title produced by the Ministry LR No.94/24 transfers the same property to John Mugo Kamau on 24th August 1978. You can see that for both it is 1978. The buyer’s address and the lawyer’s, that is Da Gama Rose, as earlier indicated in the provisional transfer from Barclays Bank are similar. The transfer is also signed by the same person. Entry No.24, which is the purported transfer to Muchanga is initially entered as an asset, implying that Muchanga was an apparent heir to Arnold Bradley. This is later cancelled but not initialed in the register. The cancellation is there but there are no initials to confirm that this is a particular officer, company or lawyer who has done it in terms of cancellations. The documents by Muchanga have a fatal flaw on entry number 18 in the title which was made on 2nd March 1978, but is later cancelled to allow another entry dated 1983 and another entry dated 1977 before re-inserting the entry as number 20 of 1978. So you can see there is some trying or fitting, so that there is some flow of records. This could imply that all the entries in the title presented by Muchanga could have been made on the same day because from the writing, even the person doing the entries is the same.
