    "content": " I rise to support the Motion and the Report from the Departmental Committee on Lands. The directives given by the President to Ministries are supposed to be implemented. It is unfortunate those directives are not implemented by the people who are supposed to implement them. There are many cases where the President has given directives to Ministries, but they fail to implement those directives. From the findings of the Committee, His Excellency the former President, Hon. Daniel arap Moi directed that the land be degazetted so that squatters are settled there. That was not done as the former President had directed. Cartels, as we can see from this Report, colluded with the NLC and were given title deeds. So, the people the President intended to give land were left out. Therefore, it is good that when a directive is given by a president, it is taken seriously. If the former President’s directive is not followed, we will lose a lot of money that was invested in construction of chief’s camps, schools and churches on that land, because the Ministry of Lands failed to follow the directive. This is one example of what happened in this Republic. Many directives are given, but they are never implemented and that creates conflict among people. It is good that when we have such a Report, the concerned Ministry takes it seriously and implements the recommendations. There are four outfits claiming ownership of this land. It is high time the NLC implemented the directive of the former President without favouring the people they colluded with. Investigations should be done and if found that they colluded with specific rich people who The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
