Karibu Mheshimiwa.MP SHABAN: Me I will speak in English, thank you very much. We welcome you to Arabia, to take our views. First andforemost, we would have appreciated, if you would have come by road from Nairobi, so that you appreciate the problem of thepeople of Mandera, the people of Arabia, the people of Mandera East. You would have come by road; you really would haveappreciated, and understood the magnitude of the problems we are presenting to you. Because, at least if you would havecome road, and that’s what we expected from the beginning. I came by road myself, it has taken me about 3 days to reach myconstituency. I was with my colleague from Mandera Central, and we had quite a good good car in very with good condition.Before we came to Mandera, our vehicle broke down; we had to ask for assistance from Mandera. They have sent us anothervehicle. So if you had come by road, if you traveled from village to village, you would have really appreciated. I know whatyou thought about the timing, and reaching, areas, but if you have to really appreciate the difficulties those who have been herehave talked about, then you would have really known what that hardship means.In Kenya we have three systems, we have the Parliamentary, the Judiciary and we have the Executive, so I will give my pointsand then you will put them down depending on how you will put in them in those three of arms of Government. One, I will talkabout trust land, North Eastern Province, including Mendera East, Mandera district is a trust land. For now I think we want thetrust land continue, and have communal land ownership. Why I say this is because, the people in this area do not have enoughcivic education, although they know their land rights. If we say we give this land to individuals, as what has happened to otherareas, they will end up losing it all. So for now, we say there must be trust land, where there is communal ownership. If there isany land alienation, then the people themselves, it should be stressed that the people should be consulted.
