TO THE MINISTRY OF LANDS AND RURAL RESETTLEMENT 8.6 In dealing with relocations and offer letters, the ZHRC recommends that for future planning purposes, the Ministry should put in place procedures to be followed to minimise the adverse effect of displacement according to UN Guiding Principles 56 and 9.7 All feasible alternatives should be explored to avoid displacement where possible. 8.7 The Ministry should have a predictable land issuing framework so as to enable beneficiaries to plan and invest for medium to long term. 8.8 The Ministry as the custodian of land must collaborate with other Ministries to guard against multiple use of the same land. The position of the land use is not clear as it is alleged to be a game park, a conservancy, and mining, cultural heritage site and farming area. There is need for such confusion to be rectified through coordination by government ministries, departments and other State agencies. 8.9 The Ministry of Lands and Rural Resettlement must ensure that land is put to the appropriate use to which it is designated. The Ministry must therefore monitor and ensure that Arnold Farm is used as a national monument. The Ministry must coordinate with the National Museums and Monuments to ensure that such information is publicized through the use of relevant, visible public information, education and communication material.
