    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to present this Petition which has been submitted to the Senate by Mr. Francis Wainaina Njuguna, on behalf of Mbogo’s Family Welfare Group of mbari ya Mbogo . It concerns historical injustices and illegal alienation of L.R. No.7153/1, 7153/2 and 7153/R, also known as L.R.12825. As you are aware, under Article 119(1) of the Constitution: “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enacting, amend or repeal any legislation.” The salient issues raised in this Petition are: THAT, Kasarini Estate Company Limited, occupying the land L.R. No.7153/1, 7153/2 and 7153/R also known as LR128/25, was formed in Britain. The estate occupied the land as a demonstration farm from 1932, while coexisting with the original owner, Mbogo Wainaina family. THAT, a group of five families with 10 members, allegedly formed Kasarini Farmers’ Cooperative Society Limited which was registered on 10th July, 1974 in a bid to illegally acquire the Kasarani Estate Company Limited land. THAT, Kasarini Farmers Cooperative Society Limited certificate was disowned by the commissioners of Cooperative Development, in response to an enquiry by the National Land Commissioner (NLC). Despite the Commissioner of Cooperative Development disowning Kasarini Farmers’ Cooperative Society Limited, the Society was issued with a title on the said land on 18th December, 1981. THAT, Kasarini Farmers Cooperative Society Limited have since purported to have bought the land from Kasarini Estate Company Limited, disregarding the ownership of the land by Mbogo Wainaina Family. THAT, the petitioners have made efforts to have the matter addressed by the National Land Commission (NLC) and other relevant authorities all of which have failed to give a satisfying response."
