• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the policy I was going to read has been summarized by my colleague. It is true that this sub location is not in Rachuonyo but falls in Mosocho Division. Despite the challenges, Luos and Kisiis have coexisted peacefully. Due to intermarriages between the two communities, they have always been engaging one another in dialogue. Majority of the residents are Kisiis. They said that we should pass the new Constitution. These are boundaries between two counties and I have no powers to change the boundaries. Changing of boundaries is provided for under Article 188 of ... view

• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also have a medical examination report from the OCS, Wang’uru Police Station dated 18th April, 2012 which shows that the boy was not assaulted and did not sustain any injuries.

The people of Kirinyaga surrendered portions of their land to provide for expansion or creation of public utilities. Those who surrendered land were given land elsewhere.

So, generations later, people are coming back with title deeds and saying that such and such land does ... view

There are also statements from many other officials like a councillor, a DO I, and an AP constable. view
