Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think that when one examines similar laws elsewhere, he intends that the December 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4127 intention is always to protect key witnesses in the criminal field. Therefore, in the current formulation of quasi-judicial proceedings, you actually would be undermining the rationale of this proposed law by opening it up, so that any witness can be protected. Critically, in terms of the monies involved in protecting witnesses, this would not be easy. Therefore, the formulation that Mr. Muite is talking about would have to be captured by another formulation, which would not ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Demarcation and survey work has already been started in Sambirir and Koibatek Adjudication Sections of Tirap Division. Kipchumwa and Tuturung sub-locations in the same Tirap Division will be declared adjudication sections as soon as funds are available. There are a total of nine sub-locations in Tot Division and seven sub-locations in Tunyo Division targeted for declaration as adjudication sections when funds are available.

To answer the supplementary question, I am aware of the fact that there is no Lands Officer and Lands Registrar in Marakwet District. Because we have employed new land registrars, I will be more than delighted to ensure that there is a Lands Registrar and Lands Officer in that district so that people can be served well. We are in the process of making sure that those officers report to their requisite districts. On the demarcations that are on-going, I have instructed that they be completed forthwith. The ones that we have itemised will also be considered when funds are ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member was listening carefully to my answer, I indicated that demarcation and survey works have already started in Sambirir, Koibatek and sections of Tirap Division. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other two sub-locations will be declared adjudication sections. Land in many areas in this country has not been adjudicated since Independence. To adjudicate land in those areas, Parliament will have to vote money for that purpose. However, it is unfair for the hon. Member to say that when money is available we do not do our work.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry has not issued a title deed to Mr. Suleiman for plot No.1513/281 because his claim has not yet been authenticated due to lack of supporting documents.

17 Oct 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Suleiman alleges that a judgement was made in his favour by the Ministry and the adjudication claims as per the provisions of the Land Titles Act, Cap.282. However, we have no records of such a claim or judgement traced to the Ministry Headquarters or the Coast Lands Registry. A sketch map whose source was not known was submitted to our office by Mr. Suleiman. Therefore, we have no records to show the existence of the plot. However, we will be very happy to assist Mr. Suleiman if he comes to our office with any document ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Khamisi knows that this Ministry is very much interested in solving land problems at the coast and countrywide. I will be very glad to be approached by Mr. Suleiman with his MP, Mr. Khamisi and I will assist because it is my duty to do so. I think this old man needs to be assisted to get his legal rights.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Ministry of Lands, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the residents of Kamungei and Kamwenga areas have not been issued with their title deeds. However, Kaptich area is already registered. (b) The delay in the finalization of adjudication work in Kamungei and Kamwega areas has been occasioned by a boundary dispute relating to the North Nandi Forest, which is currently being addressed. (c) It is hoped that Kamungei and Kamwega areas will be registered as soon as the dispute is resolved and adjudication process finalized within the 2006/2007 ...
