Deputy Speaker, I wish to present a public petition on renewal of land leases in Nandi County PETITIONS RENEWAL OF LAND LEASES IN NANDI COUNTY I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of Nandi County, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the British Empire established the East Africa Protectorate in 1895 and the Kenya Colony in 1920; THAT, in 1895, the colonial administration allegedly evicted the Nandi community from their ancestral land, currently occupied by multi-national tea companies; THAT, in 1941, the British Colonial Government mapped areas in Nandi County and, in particular, Nandi Hills and Tinderet constituencies; THAT, the white settlers settled in the White Highlands and established tea plantations, which are still in existence to date; THAT, in 1963, the ownership was legalized through the land tenure-lease period of 999 years upon attainment of Independence and the multinational companies continued to occupy the said parcels of land; THAT, the new Constitution of Kenya 2010, brought along major changes to the tenure of land ownership, where it reduced leases from 999 to 99 years. Consequently, all 999 years leases have since lapsed; THAT, the parcels of land in question include: Kipkeibon, Kipkeikei, Kapsumbeiwa, Chemomi, Savani, Septon, Kibwari, Nandi, Siret, Kepchomo, Kipkoimet, Kapchorwa, Kaboswa, Kibabet and Tinderet Tea Estates.

  • Bomet County Presentation
    BOMET MUNICIPALITY BOMET CUIDS REVIEWED F/Y 2019/2020 Page 1 BOMET COUNTY PRESENTATION 1.0 URBANIZATION, URBAN MANAGEMENT AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY 1.1. Urbanization and urban development in the county A large part of the county is characterized by undulating topography that gives way to flatter terrain in the south. The overall slope of the land is towards the south, except the north eastern part which rises eastwards towards the 3,000m high Mau Ridges. The land slopes gently from Kericho plateau to about 1,800m in the lower area where the land is generally flat with a few scattered hills in Chepalungu and Sigor plain. The growing trend where a majority of the World’s population lives in urban areas is indeed universal. Urbanization is strongly associated with economic growth and indeed Vision 2030, Kenya’s blue print for long-term development, shows that over 60 percent of Kenyans will be living in towns by the year 2030 and will number 38 million people in a population of 60 million. About 27% of the population in Bomet county live in urban areas Page 2 Besides the predominantly rural setting of the County, there are number of Key centers of urbanization such as Bomet Municipality Sotik town Mogogosiek, Sigor, Ndanai, Siongiroi, Mulot, Chebole among others. Mulot is one of the fastest growing towns in Bomet. It is located within the border of Bomet and Narok counties. Cattle trading and slaughtering is the main commercial activity in the area, making the town an important commercial centre. There is an attempt to plan the town during 2019/2020 fiscal year.

Past studies indicates that women candidates in the world face many hurdles during electioneering period and Sub-Sahara Africa has been leading on elections offenses meted on women followed by Asian countries.

However, the Kenya politics even after promulgation of 2010 constitution elective positions is still domineered by men. The purpose of this study was to explore electoral challenges encountered by women aspirants during elections campaign period in Kenya. The study areas was Bomet and Kericho County. The study was guided by patriarchal theory. The literature was reviewed from global perspective, Africa and Kenya context. The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research method which was suitable in collecting opinions of the electorates. The target population comprised of 4,000 registered voters in Bomet and Kericho Counties. A sample of 10% of the target population yielded 400 sample sizes.
