    "content": "The difference in our Report and the previous ones is that we have indicated timelines and timeframes that we feel are enough for the NLC. It is not sufficient to recommend that the NLC should resolve these matters. We have gone further and if the NLC feel they need more time than that, they should start reverting to the Committee on Implementation as to why they need a longer time. In many cases, we have given a variance between 90 to 120 or 180 days when issues of land should be cleared. The Cabinet Secretary for Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning and the chairman of NLC should put caveats on all parcels of land belonging to State corporations that are currently in possession of land grabbers. We saw, the day before yesterday, during the launch of the Kenya Coast Guards, fish landing sites and many other areas which people are now giving back voluntarily to the rightful State agencies which in turn hold the land in trust for the people of Kenya. We urge everyone who took this land to return it to the people of Kenya. The NLC should prioritise and expedite resolving ownership issues surrounding parcels of land belonging to State corporations. We fail to understand why the NLC works with haste when it is private land they are dealing with, but when it is land that belongs to State corporations, they take their sweet time."
