Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek the indulgence of the House, so that I reply to this Question on Tuesday, next week. This is because we are still trying to get proper information so that the answer can satisfy the hon. Member.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hope I will get ten minutes since this issue involves the Ministry of Lands as it involves the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security. This is a very important occasion, when all of us, as sober people can sort out the issue and assist the country, instead of blaming each other. I hope that we will still not lose the opportunity. The Chebyuk issue was originally a land problem which was converted into a political issue, and after that it became a security issue. I say that because yesterday, I was ...

Mr. Speaker, December 7, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4287 Sir, I beg to second the Motion of Adjournment. The current Session of Parliament has been quite busy and productive. We have passed the Banking (Amendment) Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in terms of issues that have been unfolding within the country - I have in mind the Constitution - the multisectoral forum has done some considerable work. There has been considerable consensus in terms of the proposed law that should lead the country into finalizing the constitutional reforms. I am sure that, in due time next year, when Parliament resumes, that proposed ...

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.
