    "content": "THAT, the original boundary points were Kisiki, Tanke, Kore and Didimabul, with the upper western part of the boundary points being allocated to Galana Ranching with the lower eastern part being reserved for community use. THAT, in 2020, and without due public participation, ADC undertook an illegal and irregular boundary extension exercise that resulted in new boundary points at Chain Barrier (Sameta), Kormotho, Kapangani, Dakabuko, Kalaluwe, Gurujo, Bisaadhi, Diririsa, Bibithole, Changoto and Dera, which were then gazetted for adjudication. THAT, not only is the extension illegal, but failure by ADC to involve the community and leaders in Magarini Sub-County in the re-surveying of the land poses an existential threat to the livelihood of the local communities and goes against basic tenets of justice in light of the fact that the original beacons are still in place. THAT, efforts to have this matter addressed further by the relevant authorities, including the National Land Commission and the National Environment Management Authority, have been futile. THAT, the matter in respect of which this Petition is made is not pending before any court of law or constitutional body. Now, therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Lands: (i) enquires into the matter with a view to securing, with the assistance of the National Land Commission, the restoration of the original boundary points of the Galana Game and Ranching land so as to safeguard the land originally allocated to the local community; (ii) causes the Ministry of Lands to complete the adjudication process in the areas where it had begun and urgently commences the process in the remaining areas with a view of ensuring that members of the community are issued with title deeds; and, (iii) makes any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the matter. And your petitioners will forever pray. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
