    "content": "THAT, owing to the environmental sustainability and cultural practices, impact on availability of pasture for livestock as well as food for residents, the community had proposed acquisition of an alternative piece of land in Kubikalo, which was turned down for reasons unknown to us; THAT, on 29th May 2020, the KDF moved into the land with bulldozers to the contested land despite the objection and protest by the community; THAT, the compulsory acquisition of land will result in loss of livestock to malnutrition and other related complications and consequent loss of livelihoods of an estimated 25,000 livelihoods; THAT, consequently, the Government will incur additional cost approximated at Kshs144 million in food hand-outs to the affected residents; THAT, the efforts to have the matter addressed by the relevant authorities, who include the Marsabit County Government and the County Commissioner, have been futile; THAT, this matter is not pending in any court of law or constitutional or legal body. THEREFORE, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Lands, investigate the matter with a view to grant the Petitioners their right and equally make any other further orders deemed fit in the circumstances of the Petitioners. And your humble Petitioners will ever pray."
