"content": "After meeting the Narok County Government officials who were led by their Governor, Hon. Samuel Kuntai Tunai, the Ministry was informed that the land in the county is privately owned. This would therefore force the Ministry of Defence to acquire the land from private owners who will be the willing seller-willing buyer or sometimes by compulsory acquisition as it is in law. There was no public land owned by the Narok County Government which could be offered to the Ministry of Defence, especially taking into consideration the specification they had been given. The area they found suitable is privately owned. In order to select that most optimal and ideal location, ground recce was of essence. I should be forgiven for using the word “recce” which is another military observation. It means looking for an area that has certain strategic features that will suit the purpose. They like using the phrase, “to locate the enemy”. Those of us who do not come from that background do not like to use the word “enemy” but that is the meaning. It is the short word for what is always called reconnaissance. From the layman’s point of view, we can just say that it is a familiarisation tour."
