    "content": "Hon. Members, I have a Petition regarding compensation of compulsory acquired land and properties along the Kibwezi-Kitui Road. Article 119 of the Constitution accords any person the right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority. Further, Standing Order 225(2)(b) requires the Speaker to report to the House any Petition other than those presented by a Member. In this regard, I wish to report to the House that my office has received a Petition from one Ibrahim Nthitu Makwattah on behalf of landowners of land and properties compulsorily acquired by the Government of Kenya for the construction of the Kibwezi Lorry Park and roadside amenities along Kibwezi–Kitui Road. The Petitioner avers that the landowners he is representing were invited for a meeting in the Office of the Deputy County Commissioner of Kibwezi Sub-County on 7th October 2021 where they were informed of the decision by the Government of Kenya to acquire parcels of land for purposes of constructing a lorry park and other roadside amenities. During the said meeting, the national and county government’s Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), the National Lands Commission (NLC), and APEC consortium were in attendance. The affected landowners were requested to give access to their properties for purposes of identification of beacons and measurements for design purposes. Hon. Members"
