I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources on irregularities of land acquisition for dams construction projects. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) Provide the list and particulars of parcels of land acquired by the National Land Commission (NLC) for the purpose of the dam construction project from 2020, stating the amounts paid for them as compensation to the respective owners and indicating the market value of those parcels; (2) Investigate and table the findings on the report on collusion and conspiracy between individuals, companies and officials of the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and NLC, to acquire land in anticipation of projects and dispose them to the Government at exorbitant prices for these projects, therefore, occasioning loss of money by the taxpayers; (3) State the action to be taken against those involved, including measures to surcharge for the loss of the Government; and, (4) State measures being taken to promote awareness to communities whose land has been marked for Government projects to inconspicuous and unscrupulous land speculators. Thank you."
