It is not worthy to underscore the fact that the in-tray for the Departmental Committee on Lands is full or we get a lot of petitions. During COVID-19 period, we were not able to handle the petitions as expected. This year 2020, despite the fact that we were not working throughout due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we received 11 petitions and we have finished five of them including one that I tabled today and the three that I tabled in the previous sitting.

We also invited the National Land Commission (NLC) in our last sitting. However, the NLC indicated that they were not ready for this petition. You can, therefore, see that the committee is making a lot of effort to ensure that we handle the issues. The NLC has however promised to bring information on this matter soonest possible.
