(b) The Isanga Iwishi Group Ranch has no right to claim ownership of Mwakitau land considering: (i) That, Section 7 of the Limitation of Actions Act provided that if a person has been living on a private land for more than 12 years continuously and uninterrupted, the land becomes his through adverse possession; and (ii) That, they have never attempted to evict the citizens of Mwakitau since they settled there in 1920 to date The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
