Since this has already been done by the Commissioner of lands, I believe it is just a question of time. I can assure the hon. Member that within the next 45 days from today, he will have this land to the school. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply.

• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we actually need to request the headteacher of that particular Primary School or Secondary School to make payments to the Commissioner of Lands.

I request my colleague to pass by the office of the Director of Land Adjudication once the list has been submitted so that he also confirms that it is the correct list. view
