"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to present a Petition regarding compensation of residents of Crown Land, LR 883/2 (Sergoit Holding ground) in Moiben Constituency. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Crown Land (LR 883/2) of Moiben Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, Crown Land (LR 883/2), commonly referred to as Sergoit Holding ground in Moiben Constituency, Uasin Gishu County, totalling 1,500 acres was inhabited by several clans of Sergoit Community who used it for grazing, water catchment and cultural activities before the land was acquired by the colonial government. THAT, the Sergoit Community surrendered the parcel of land to allow for establishment of public amenities such as schools, colleges, police stations and tree nurseries, among other utilities, against a Government’s commitment to compensate them. THAT, while some families received compensation by being given other parcels of land, many others were left out as the land intended for the compensation was fraudulently acquired by individuals who continue to occupy it up to-date. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "THAT, in 1992, during the initial land allocation to beneficiaries as compensation, some individuals and entities were allegedly allocated parcels of land irregularly by the then provincial administration. THAT, following complaints against the compensation process by the residents, a taskforce was formed in 2016 to investigate and address the anomalies which subsequently led to three splinter groups due to internal disagreements. THAT, one of the groups sub-divided the land, drew a new map (Sergoit-Karuna Block 5) which overlapped with the 1992 allocations thus causing boundary disputes among the residents. THAT, the Sergoit Community and un-compensated land owners formed a committee that actively pursued the matter with the support of the County Commissioner, who placed a caveat on any transactions on Crown Land until the issues were resolve. THAT, out of the 1,500 acres, only 900 acres is occupied by genuine beneficiaries who are also facing displacement after the 2016 sub-division map. About 450 acres were allegedly acquired and inhabited illegally by private developers while the rest of the 150 acres is a water catchment area. THAT, the matters presented in this Petition are not pending before any tribunal, court of law or any legal body. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Public Petitions Committee: 1. Engages the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development and the relevant authorities with a view to investigating the alleged irregular land acquisition, illegal compensation process and other malpractices for Crown Land (LR 883/2) in Moiben Constituency, Uasin Gishu County. 2. Recommends due compensation to all members of Sergoit Community who surrendered their parcels of land for public utilities. 3. Makes any other recommendation or action it deems fit in addressing the plight of the Petitioners. And your Petitioners will forever pray. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Petition by Hon. Bartoo on the re-settlement of the Sergoit people. The issue of the former provincial administration taking money from individuals and allocating land is not just in Sergoit. It is something that has happened in areas where we have had issues of settlement. I brought a Petition on behalf of the people of Chepchoina in my constituency but to date, it has not been addressed. In Chepchoina, we have people who have occupied other peoples’ land and have allotment letters. The Select Committee on Public Petitions needs to consolidate the two petitions and respond to both issues. We have this problem not just in Chepchoina and Sergoit, but all over in other places. We also have serious conmen who are engaged in fraudulent acquisition of peoples’ lands. The Select Committee on Public Petitions should be able to consolidate and look at some of these Petitions, which are raising matters of historical land injustices. The Constitution provides that Parliament has the power to summon anybody. Former provincial administrators The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I take this opportunity to support the Petition. As it has been mentioned by Hon. (Prof.) Bartoo, we have a similar problem in Trans Nzoia County. It is becoming more critical now given that some of the people who acquired land illegally are bossing around. Therefore, this Petition is quite timely. I request whoever will handle it to involve the Petitioner and people from Trans Nzoia, so that they can provide adequate information. There are people who own large parcels of land today. They walked in and acquired them. This case is very critical. I thank the Petitioner for coming out. When she will be called upon to give evidence, let her involve us as well so that we can give some more information that is very critical, so that these matters can be sorted out once and for all. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
