    "content": "allottees although some remained as squatters. Their recent forceful eviction has caused hostilities between them and the allottees. Hon. Members, the Petitioners are, therefore, praying that the National Assembly – (i) Investigates the circumstances behind the inordinate delay in facilitating the survey, sub-division and allocation within Haraka Settlement Scheme in Yatta and Masinga constituencies to deserving squatters since 1988 when then Ministerial Plots Committee recommended allotment of plots to verified squatters. (ii) Recommends immediate cessation of on-going evictions from Haraka Settlement Scheme and allocation of part or whole of Haraka Settlement Scheme until genuine squatters are authenticated. (iii) Inquires into circumstances under which parts of the Haraka Settlement Scheme were allotted to unknown persons other than squatters who have lived on the land for over 45 years and recommend revocation of any such irregular allotment. (iv) Makes any other recommendation deemed necessary in addressing the circumstances of the Petitioners. Hon. Members, having determined that the matters raised by the Petitioners are well within the authority of this House, I order and direct that pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 227(1), this Petition be committed to the Departmental Committee on Lands. The Committee is required to consider the Petition and report its findings to the House and to the Petitioners in accordance with Standing Order 227(2). I thank you. Member for Ainamoi."
