    "content": "THAT, the people of Mnarani Ward, Kilifi North Constituency, have occupied the land in Mnarani Village for more than 100 years. THAT, the land in Mnarani Village, Mnarani Ward, was surveyed on 28th May 1912 and granted in favour of Mr. Byremji Rustumji Khanjuri. THAT, the land was later illegally acquired by Arab families during the colonial era with the assistance of the administration then, and the Arabs registered the land as their property. THAT, the 172.8 acres of land occupied by the residents of Mnarani is registered as Plot No:YSR130 Section V situated at Mnarani-Kilifi Takaungu in the name of Kalthum Binti Mohammed and Shariffa Binti Mohammed, referred as Mohammed family, as an agricultural land. THAT, the beneficiaries are: Ali Mohammed, Kalthum Mohammed, Shariffa Mohammed and Said Mohammed being the first, second, third and fourth borns of the Mohammed family respectively. THAT, after several years, the illegally registered owners of the land migrated to the Middle East leaving the property under the care of caretakers whom they called trustees and the land changed to Wakf under the Islamic Laws. THAT, the trustees invited locals to settle in the area willingly and were to pay a monthly fee considering that the land was agricultural and had a lot of cashew nuts, coconuts and mangoes. THAT, Ali Mohammed, the first-born son, appointed one Mr. Ali Omar to be in charge of collecting money from the sale of coconuts and rent from the Mnarani plots. In the year 1959, the trustee allowed the residents to build a school which is the present-day Mnarani Primary School measuring 12 acres. THAT, Mr. Ali Omar, the steward died and Mr. Mohammed Mwalimu took over as the new steward and tasked by Mr. Ali Mohammed with the help of one Mr. Shosi to vet the people who wished to be settled in Mnarani Village. THAT, Ali Mohammed died and his sister Kalthumi Mohammed became the trustee of the wakf. Kalthum gave Mr. Abdallah Serf the power of attorney and the Wakf was registered in the name of Ms. Kalthum Binti Mohammed of P.O. Box 85059 Mombasa. THAT, at the tenure of Kalthum Mohammed, the land ceased being an agricultural land and became residential, presumably with a number of households exceeding 1,107 and a population of over 20,000 people with a mosque, churches, schools and other social amenities.
