    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to request for a Statement on the status of land discharge process in Lamu County. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order 53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources on the status of land discharge process in Lamu County. In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) provide a status report on the Settlement Fund Trustee mandated to settle residents on unalienated Government land or land purchased by Government from private owners, stating how many resettlements have been successfully completed in Lamu County since the relevant law was enacted and how many are pending; (2) cause the publishing of parcels of land in Lamu County under the custody of the Settlement Fund Trustee, informing the Senate of accrued charges for each piece of land; (3) state the timeframe upon which parcels of land charged by the Settlement Fund Trustees (SFT) should be transferred to residents of Lamu County after residents settle charges against their parcels of land; (4) state reasons for the failure by the Government to facilitate the discharge process of the said parcels of land, noting that this has had a negative impact on the growth of the county as the owners are unable to subdivide or make transfers; and (5) outline plans, if any, the Government has put in place, to ensure the discharge process is hastened and a waiver is offered on the accumulated land rates. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
