    "content": "The next report is on a Petition on alleged Illegal Encroachment of Community Land by the School of Artillery, Kenya Defence Forces. This Petition was brought to this House by Sen. Fatuma Dullo, CBS, MP. It reported to the Senate that a Petition has been submitted by Residents of Ngare Mare, Isiolo County, on the alleged illegal encroachment of Community land by the School of Artillery, Kenya Defence Forces in Isiolo. The Committee conducted investigations and a site visit to Isiolo. The Committee noted that the land was acquired vide gazette Notice No. 3210 of 1977 which required all applications for compensation by claimants to be submitted to the respective District Commissioners are Isiolo. This is for purposes of compensation. Unfortunately, most of those living on the land did not send their applications to the District Commissioner. The Committee has recommended that those who sent their applications before the expiry of the days given should be allocated the land – they should be compensated because it is only fair that if government is taking land that does not belong to it, then they should compensate those who are living on that land. We have many cases like this in Kenya, where land has been taken without compensation. It is just time for Government to know that those people are suffering and have suffered and they should be given due compensation."
