Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I repeat that the combined force of the rangers and askaris did not shoot any animal. What they did was that they drove them outside the Reserve. We are not aware of what happened after that. Let me say that in that area, there are many cattle rustlers and sometimes, they even shoot the animals themselves as they fight over them. So, we are not aware of what happened to the animals after they were driven out.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as that incident is concerned, the cattle were driven out of the park and we are not aware of what happened later. But if there is other information that the hon. Member has, I would be glad to receive it and then I will see what action can be taken. However, I take this opportunity to ask the hon.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that adjudication has taken 35 years. At the same time, we must appreciate that more than 50 per cent of the land mass of this country has no titles. So, let us appreciate the little that the Government has done, even though it has taken 35 years. There are others who do not have titles at all. The titles are now available. I would like to request the hon. Member to urge the residents to go and collect them and pay the necessary fees so that they can start developing their land ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I have apologised because it has taken 35 years, I was just pointing out that there are some other sections in this country where people do not even have titles. This is because of shortage of staff and qualified personnel. But as a Government, we want to make sure that every piece of land in this country has a title deed.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the intention of the Government is to give title deeds to each and every piece of land in this country. However, because of the shortage of staff and personnel, this is going to take time. Also, the area that the hon. Member is talking about is Trust Land. Under the Trust Land Act, it requires that certain actions be done by the county council as the trustee of the land. I would like to assure the hon. Member that before the Lamu Port is constructed and any land is acquired by the Government for the ...
