Some of the problems we are dealing with were noted as early as 2000 by District Commissioners. I will table a letter here by a Narok DC who told the District Lands Registrar:- “You may agree that the Government procedures have not been followed in this issue. We do not know the amount of land the council ceded to these group ranches. The surveyor who did the relevant maps did not go to the ground and the adjudication officer was not involved.” view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: There is a lot about this issue because even Government officers had raised this matter. Therefore, we would like this debate to end in a manner that the rule of law and the rights of the people are observed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Report has very good and contradictory recommendations.

• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we must find common ground on this matter. This House has an obligation to this country to uphold the rule of law. I think once we confirm that, I do not see why we cannot adopt this particular report and bring this raging debate to a conclusion and allow Government and Office of the Prime Minister to get to some work view

• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: (b)when he will upgrade the hospital to a referral status, given that it serves six districts in the North Rift. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I noted that the Minister was getting agitated because he does not have an Assistant Minister since Mr. Mungatana resigned. view

• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Minister say that the machines are available but, occasionally, the hospital is unable to render services with those machines owing to breakdowns, lack of accessories and stock-out of consumables. Those are just management issues. He has also confirmed that the service companies and suppliers of accessories and consumables are located far away either in Nairobi or Eldoret. From Eldoret to Lodwar, it is 400 kilometers, while Lodwar is about 1,000 kilometers from Nairobi. view
