    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Like the request by Hon. Kiarie, this request was made towards the tail-end of the Fourth Session and it lapsed. Therefore, I have revived it in the early part of this Session. It is a request for a Statement regarding illegal acquisition and reallocation of a parcel of land in Maseno Township in Kisumu County. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands regarding the illegal acquisition and reallocation of a parcel of land, LR.332/182, in Maseno Township, belonging to the National Police Service (NPS). Since 2013 or thereabout, there has been illegal acquisition of the said piece of land. The said piece of land has been portioned and reallocated to private institutions and developers without a written approval from the NPS or the National Land Commission (NLC). New parcel numbers have been illegally created out of the said parcel of land and further reallocated to individuals, companies and other developers. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands to address the following issues: (i) When was parcel No.LR332/182 in Maseno Township, Kisumu County, allocated to Administration Police for parade grounds? (ii) Under what circumstances was part of this parcel reallocated to private developers, what are the numbers of the new parcels created out of it and the identities of the persons or institutions to which the reallocation was done? (iii) What steps are being taken by the Ministry of Lands to ensure that ownership of the parcel of land reverts back to the NPS? (iv) What action is the Ministry taking to secure all parcels of land that have been allocated to the NPS to avoid any further irregular allocations and transfers in future anywhere else in the country? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
