    "content": "Hon. Members, I wish to report to the House that my Office has received a Petition submitted by Mr. Bernard Kioko Mutisya and five others on behalf of the residents of Vota Mua Ward in Machakos Town Constituency. The Petitioners wish to draw the attention of the House to the obstruction of a road upgrade project undertaken by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority between Konza and Katumani by the registered owner of LR No.353/2. The Petitioners aver that the continued use of the road by the public and the fact that the road has been maintained by the Government for over 30 years forms the basis for the National Lands Commission to create a public right over the parcel of land. The Petitioners are apprehensive that the delay in the commencement of the upgrading of the road occasioned by the actions of the owner of the parcel of land is inhibiting the construction of the road despite more funds having been allocated by the Government for the project. The Petitioners, therefore, pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Lands, intervenes to ensure the portion of the land LR No.353/2 ordinarily utilised as a road is converted to create a public right of way in accordance with Article 40(3)(a) of the Constitution and Section 143 of the Lands Act. Thank you. There is also a Petition to be presented by the Member for Laisamis, Hon. Arbelle Marselino. Proceed."
