Hon. Speaker, I indicated “within three weeks” meaning we are going to take seriously the urgency of the matter and balance it with other matters before the Committee. It could be within a week or two weeks, but we are giving a maximum of three weeks. That does not necessarily mean that we are going to take three weeks. It could even be within four days, but we have to arrange facilities and take the investigations and the actions he is requesting for. So, I would request he understands we are saying that within three weeks, there must be a ...

Hon. Speaker, I have listened to the questions and I wanted to make a mention. Whether we are talking about demolitions or forcible evictions, we are talking about some claim or rival claims to land or ownership of property. The police or the agencies within the administration or security only assessed the process. I was therefore thinking that in as much as the question is addressed to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, the final resolution to the matters as asked by Hon. Abdullswamad would better come from the Departmental Committee on Lands, because that is where the ...

I fear that if we take up that matter, we will be dealing with the manner in which evictions or claims to ownership of property is being addressed instead of addressing the root cause which is ownership of the property. I would, therefore, be requesting for your direction on that matter in particular, with all those secondary elements concerning police interventions, be addressed with finality through the Departmental Committee on Lands. Otherwise, we would be obliged with your directions.

Hon. Speaker, the House is aware because we engage outside the House with leave of the House and the House’s facilitation. Hon. Kassait Kamket is also aware that the subject matter has been under and before the Committee for consideration for quite some time, even before the measures the Government has instituted to deal with the matter of Kapedo were so instituted. All I wanted to indicate at this stage is that this is a very delicate matter. Of course, as a Committee, before and even during the time the Government is intervening to ensure that there is some calm ...
