Folks,

If corruption is not met with the implementation of full force legal measures and if land issues are not resolved or finalized, there will be no end to corruption and Civil War will escalate to a higher magnitude in Kenya. For Kenyans to realize Millenium Development Goals Planned, Kenyan Leaders must accept to repremand those who broke the law, engaged in corrupt deals or performed acts against Human Rights ethics.

Convicted leaders must be charged and fined as is appropriate so the fee charged would revolve into development kitty and development of other projects and social welfare. It is assumed that money stolen from Public in one way or the other be refunded in tax form or fee fine to revump (jump-start) the economy.

In this CHANGE ERA the past must not be left scott free, so Kenyans can begin to heal.

This will serve a good lesson to a New Beginning and as well generate trust amongst both the local and the international community.

Thanks,

Government to implement Ndung’u Land Report
By Patrick Beja

The Government will start implementing the Ndung’u report on irregular land allocation from next week, Lands Minister James Orengo has announced.

Orengo said he has studied the report and does not need to consult Prime Minister Raila Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki or form another commission to implement it.

“I will take action on the Ndung’u report from next week. Those who were allocated public land with impunity will have themselves to blame,” he said.

Addressing leaders at Kwale County Hall in Kwale District, on Thursday, Orengo said those who benefited from irregular land allocations could face prosecution.

Transport Minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere, Assistant Ministers Gonzi Rai and Bifwoli Wakoli and Coast PC Ernest Munyi accompanied him.

Orengo warned some influential people have “stepped on people’s toes for long and it was now time to step on theirs”.

The minister said he would push the Draft National Land Policy through to Cabinet and Parliament so it could be adopted before a new constitution expected within a year. He said the new land legislation would reduce statutes on land from more than 15 to two to avoid complications on land matters.

They are the Land Titles Act and Administration and Management of Land Acts. Orengo warned individuals who had secured leases on Government land would now be required to develop it within 24 months or have it automatically revert back to the State.

Leases for public land would not be renewed if the beneficiaries failed to develop it. He said some people had used public land to borrow huge loans from banks and had either defaulted or fled the country.

“The Government should move fast to protect public and trustee land. It is wrong to renew any lease when the beneficiary has failed to develop the land,” said Orengo. He asked for a list of absentee landlords at the Coast to address the problem and settle local squatters.

Kwale Councillor Sheikh Khamis Banda said the report would addressed most Coastal land problems.

Folks,

This is a job well done. Giving life back to the people is the begining of hope for better future. Service to public is the best a Leader can do, opening opportunities to aspirations and challenges, a burden of shared sacrifice to development. It is time we stand up to rebuild our virtues and values, so we can begin to strategize and set goals and ideals and together develop Plan of Actions to improved Workforce Mainstream and Agendas for projects and programs on land utility and other sectors benefiting and including all.

I suggest the Ministry of Land as well as others, provide communication publication or link for the public to give opinion, ideas, suggestion and proposals for capacity building. This will create an open door to popular participation investment.

What a wonderful world this will be!!!!!!!!

To me , I think Orengo would have iniated another commission to investigation land problems right from 1963 when Kenyatta started messing with land allocations.

This Ndungu Commission should have covered from 1963 not just the period of Moi’s reign.Therefore Ndungu Commission is not comprehensive enough to address the land problems in kenya.

The Ndungu Commission was just formed to target people who benefited during the time of Moi leaving Kenyatta as innocent. Land problems were created by Kenyatta when he decided to settle his kikuyu people in Rift Valley and Coast Provinces without caring the feeling of the natives of those places.

Therefore ,i feel strongly that Orengo should form a commission to address all land problems created by both Kenyatta and Moi. This is when fairness will be seen to prevail.We can leave injustice done by Kenyatta not be invistagated.

This is cause of clashes that kenya always witnessing during General Election commission

Domnic,

I see your point, and you are very right. Kenyatta took the biggest chunk of land. He was the master architect of Land Grabbing. Moi just perfected the practice but went beyond to grabbing public toilets. I tell you, these are history unfolding.
