• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that there are many schools and other public institutions in Keiyo South within forest land.

Member, the process is this: The owners of the public schools, that is, the community, apply by submitting all their papers regarding their land to the Ministry of Lands.
