Julius Sunkuli","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Speaker, I also support the Petition by Hon. (Prof.) Bartoo. The Sergoit area that she has described is problematic. I am speaking on this matter because many people in Kilgoris have a deep interest in the land in Uasin Gishu County, since that is where they were evicted from. Many of our constituents remained in Uasin Gishu County. When this Petition is being considered, it is good to do a comprehensive job. During the inquiry, the Committee should consider the issue of Nyalil Bay Farm, which is not far from Sergoit. Our people were given rights on the land, even by the courts, but they cannot get it because the Government cannot implement court decisions. This Petition is very important. We will look into it. As Hon. (Dr) Pukose has said, this might reveal some serious historical injustices. This was our land, and our people must also get a good share of it."},{"id":1463114,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463114/?format=json","text_counter":27,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"The Temporary Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Hon.

We must cure these problems so that the petitions that we bring to this House become useful to the people we represent. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 established the National Lands Commission (NLC) to look into historical land injustices, review grants and handle all the issues about parcels of land that have trouble. This country has moved away from the Ndung’u Commission and many other land commissions that could not cure all those problems because they did not have the force of the law. The NLC has been created to help communities to solve those problems. However, as we may be aware, the power to review grants, as contained in the statute that established the NLC, expired. But the law in the Constitution has not expired. As at now, there is a constriction on the implementation of the Constitution because of a statute that was passed in this House. It will be very difficult for the people of Moiben to get justice on those land issues, if the NLC does not get its power back. Even if we give the Public Petitions Committee the mandate to investigate and do whatever pertains to the powers that they have, there is something that will be missing – that is, the statutory authority of the NLC to solve those problems.

It is, therefore, very important that we stand up, as a House, and re-enact the law to ensure that NLC continues to have the necessary powers, so that it can help to solve the many land issues that we have in this country. Hon. Temporary Speaker, there has been some kind of lacuna and cooling of feet within the Ministry. Probably, they are not interested in giving back those powers to the NLC. Therefore, I request this House to ensure that the powers envisaged in the Constitution are given back to the NLC so that they can review grants. The NLC should be enabled to listen to historical land injustice cases and liberate this country from the yoke of land issues. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."},{"id":1463117,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463117/?format=json","text_counter":30,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"The Temporary Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Hon.
