    "content": "As a result of illegal demolitions, nearly five hundred families were rendered homeless with children forced to close schools earlier because their schools and their residents had been destroyed; Some residents also lost their livelihoods since their businesses were demolished. It is also worth noting that one of the residents committed suicide as a result of frustration, trauma and shock created by illegal demolitions; THAT, after completing a due diligence search at the Survey of Kenya, the homeowners determined that the KPC did not possess the disputed land. Therefore, the demolitions were carried out in bad faith and in violation of the residents’ fundamental right to housing and in contravention of the country’s Vision 2030 of Affordable Housing; THAT, following demolitions, KPC decoded the area, which was an afterthought and a complete violation of enacted regulations. The disputed plot has since remained vacant with the possibility of being sold to a third party to the prejudice of the demolition victims who have experienced emotional losses torments, worry and disgrace; The issue presented in this Petition has been raised with relevant bodies, but has not been adequately addressed. None of the issues raised in this Petition is pending before any court of law constitutionally or any other legal body; Consequently, the Petitioners pray that Senate investigates this matter with a view of ensuring that the victims are resettled and adequately compensated by the KPC. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
