• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: (iv) A date for visitation of the site is then booked by the District Lands Registrar. The Ministry’s Service Charter provides for a minimum of 90 days. However, this may extend beyond, depending on the disputes diary at the registry. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: (v) Summonses to be served to the parties are collected by the applicant at least 14 days before the visiting days. This can either be served directly or through the chief or his assistant. The recipients are supposed to acknowledge by signing on the copy. In this particular case, the Land Registrar started with two other backlog cases. The two proved to be quite involving and time consuming and, therefore, took the better part of the day as the boundary was touching on several parcels which were amounting to nine. The officer realized that he could not proceed to the ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: In areas where there are crops like sugar-cane and maize, the dispute may be postponed until harvest time. Bad weather, lack of transport, lack of adequate fuel to facilitate transport and personnel also affect that. Currently, there is a large number of pending disputes. The number has, however, been considerably reduced in the last two years from 10,000 disputes to less than 5,000. Solving of boundary disputes is now part of our performance contracts and everything is being done to expedite their determination. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I sympathize with the hon. Member, I want to say that this matter will be before the Registrar on 22nd June. It is about eight days from today. I believe that if the summonses are collected and served to the parties, this matter will be pursued on that day. With regard to what happened on 17th, I wish the hon. Member could write to me, so that I can investigate. Thereafter, I will see what can be done because we want services to be given to the local community. I will see what action ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once our attention has been drawn on the issue of security, we will ensure that the DC provides us with security. That is because even on 17th, the DC was aware of that. However, he said that our officers did not communicate. I would like him to write to me so that I can investigate what really happened on that day. I assure him that action will be taken. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have gone through a chronology of events of what has been happening. The fees have been paid. Surely, if a date has been given and the parties fail to appear, it becomes difficult to proceed with the matter. If a date is given and the summonses are not taken and served on the persons concerned, then it also becomes difficult to proceed with the matter. I am appealing that with regard to 22nd June, if the summonses could be taken and served in good time, we can finalize the matter once and for all. ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot just say that I heard. I want it in writing so that I can say it was reported to me. That way, I can ask the officer whether she is denying or confirming the same. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have explained the procedure. We give the date. However, the parties should come and collect the summonses. They are served through the chief or the assistant chief. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, where my attention has been drawn, I will take action. I have said that once we give a date--- Even in court, you can go and get the date if you are the aggrieved person. Once you get a date ex parte, you need to issue hearing notices. Those hearing notices are supposed to be served to the parties, so that they can know the dates when those matters will be coming before the parties. view
