Temporary Speaker, when I look at the committee schedule, just as I have explained, we have already scheduled activities with universities in this country for the week of 2nd to 5th. Therefore, the only time available for a meeting to address the matter is the week starting 8th April, when we resume sittings on 9th April 2024. So, we can only invite the Cabinet Secretary on 9th April 2024 to give us some information, then make a presentation on 11th April 2024. That is the only feasible time."},{"id":1414972,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1414972/?format=json","text_counter":264,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, KVDA has laid claim to land in West Pokot, Kacheliba Constituency, Kapchok Ward, citing ownership dating back to 1980. However, the legitimacy of this claim is unclear, with no evidence of documentation or adherence to the legal processes governing land transfer. The land in question spans an area of approximately 54,000 acres and is the ancestral home of thousands of people in Kacheliba Constituency. Notably, there are over 19 institutions, including schools, Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres and health facilities on the land which have been operating over the last four decades. The proposed eviction by KVDA has caused concern and raised uncertainty and fear among members of the community. Importantly, the arbitrary placement of beacons on the land by KVDA team on a Sunday when Government officials are supposed to be resting and the lack of transparency surrounding the purported land acquisition has sparked anxiety raising questions as to the rationale of the eviction. Entire administrative areas, such as Kamechwa Sub-Location as well as Konyao, Kopeyon, Lego and Kapyen sub-locations will be directly impacted by the planned evictions. Hon. Temporary Speaker"}]}
