    "content": " Hon. Speaker, this is Petition No.28 of 2021 regarding irregular annexation and fencing by Greatcom Limited of private land in Tiwi Shimba North Kundutsi B in Matuga Constituency. I, the undersigned, on behalf of over 50 registered land owners of various parcels of land totalling to approximately 400 acres in Tiwi, Shimba North Kundutsi B in Matuga Constituency in Kwale County, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, from the late 1960s to around 1980s, the Government of Kenya embarked on land adjudication and issuance of title deeds to land owners in various parts of the country; THAT, the land in Tiwi, Shimba North Kundusti B in Matuga Constituency was also adjudicated and the petitioners were issued with title deeds as proof that they are the registered owners of the various parcels of land; THAT, over the years since adjudication, the petitioners and their descendants have lived on and exploited their respective registered land economically to sustain their needs; THAT, adjoining parcels of land owned by the petitioners are approximately 1,000 acres of land, which were registered as Kwale/Tiwi LR No. 4752/2 in favour of Maruma Holdings Ltd; THAT, in early 2021, the petitioners learnt that M/S Greatcom Ltd. had purchased the entire LR. No. Kwale/Tiwi 4752/2 from Maruma Holdings; THAT, the petitioners were shocked when in April 2021, the proprietors of M/S Greatcom Ltd., with protection from police officers encroached, annexed and fenced off private land registered in their names as part of Greatcom Ltd; THAT, the petitioners aver that their parcels of land were adjudicated as private lands, and have never been part of LR. No. Kwale/Tiwi 4752/2 that M/S Greatcom Ltd. purchased from Maruma Holdings; THAT, the action by M/S Greatcom Ltd. amounts to blatant grabbing of private land registered in favour of the over 50 helpless families who have title deeds in lieu of their respective parcels; THAT, Greatcom Ltd. has denied the petitioners access to their land, investments thereon and various public amenities within the annexed zone in violation of the right to property; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
