(c) THAT, on the date of the site identification, the Marungu area elders were accompanied by the area chief and subchief when the chief directed that the church be allocated a thousand acres instead of the 75 acres that the community had identified; (d) THAT, due to the differences between the area chief and the Marungu area elders on the acreage to be allocated for the Holy Rosary Catholic Church at a meeting held in the year 2007, the exercise was not concluded, and since then a meeting to allocate the church the piece of land has never been held; (e) THAT, in the year 2019, the mission constructed a church in the area they were to be allocated, and further sunk a borehole in the year 2021; (f) THAT, in the year 2023, the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development set up an adjudication scheme known as Ngoloki adjudication Scheme covering Marungu area. The adjudication scheme did not adjudicate on approximately 1000 acres in the area for reasons that it belongs to the Holy Rosary Catholic Church mission and that the land had been adjudicated; (g) THAT, the decision to allocate the church 1000 acres was made without involving the residents of Marungu area, and that the initial occupants of the said land are facing eviction; (h) THAT, the Petitioners have made efforts to have this matter addressed by the relevant authorities, in this case, the National Lands Commission (NLC), which has failed to give a response to their concerns."
