Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands regarding tribal conflicts over land along Nandi Escarpment at the boarders of Nandi and Kakamega counties. Hon. Speaker, there have been persistent conflicts over boundaries of individual farms along the Nandi Escarpment, which boarders Malava and Mosop constituencies. The latest conflict was on 29th May 2020 and tension has continued to date. Further, there have been conflicts since 1982, 1992, 2014 and 2017 over the same matter. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the following: 1. What measures is the Government putting in place to ensure that there is clear demarcation of boundaries of farms and lands of persons owning pieces of land touching the boundaries of Nandi and Kakamega counties or both? 2. When will the relevant Ministry settle this matter with an everlasting solution considering that the conflict has persisted for many years? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
