• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: This Report is a culmination of several interviews and interrogations of several members of the public and officials of the Ministry of Lands, the National Land Commission and all those people who have been mentioned as beneficiaries of that particular piece of land. The Committee was seized of this matter after there was a wild report in our dailies and social media that about 40 Members of this House had benefitted from that particular piece of land. They included the 29 Members of my Committee. That is what was reported. So, as a Committee, we had to move very fast ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: While we were conducting that business, we were forced, as a Committee, under the Standing Order No.90 to declare whether any of the Members had any interest on that particular piece of land. Indeed, the outcome of the same is that none of the Members reported to have had any interest in that particular piece of land. Again, we were also faced with another problem. While we were trying to look at this matter and interrogate it as a Committee, some people ran to court. As I speak, the matter is in court. However, that did not stop the Committee ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: going to prejudice whatever is already in court. The Committee consists of 29 Members. I can see my Vice-Chairperson just in front of me. I want to thank the Members most sincerely because they were really committed. They gave all their time and put a lot of effort off their very busy schedules because we had to do it over the weekends when they are supposed to be in their constituencies. That piece of land has a long history right from pre-Independence time to now. The history of LR/No.3586/3, which was previously 3586/1 before subdivision, began in 1919, when most ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: In 1935, Mr. Arnold Bradley made a request to subdivide that particular piece of land. That request was given in 1942, when he sub-divided it to his daughter. A total of 20 acres were given to his daughter, Annette Therese Benson. He was left with about 140 acres. The matter in contention is not the 20 acres as was discovered by the Committee. The matter in contention is the 140 acres and not the 160 acres as reported. view
