A twenty-four-year land allocation dispute was finally resolved following the intervention of the Commission in a complaint of inordinate delay.
According to Nancy Bunei, she was allotted Plot No. 718 of approximately 2.3 hectares at Ndemi Settlement Scheme in Nyandarua on 25th January 1995 and that after fulfilling the conditions of the offer letter, she began pursuing for the issuance of her tittle document.
She said on 23rd April 1996, she was informed that the tittle had been discharged to Nyahururu lands office for her collection.
Unfortunately, when she visited the Nyahururu lands office, she found that her title had been issued and collected by someone else.
This prompted her to raise the issue with the District Lands and Adjudication and Settlement Offices in Nyahururu, Ministry of Lands officials in Nairobi and several concerned offices but was not assisted.
“I have made several visits to your offices and held several meetings with your concerned officers with a view of a fast and an amicable solution but in spite the same, there has been no positive results and in many occasions, the file kept on missing,”
read a letter by Ms Bunei to the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of lands on 24th August 2017. The long wait and the unresponsiveness by the lands office for twenty-four years impelled her to seek the intervention of the Commission on 8th September, 2020.
The Commission by way of inquiry took up the matter with the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning leading to allocating of alternative Plot No. 1016 in Chepchoina Phase II Settlement Scheme in Trans-Nzoia County.
