    "content": "developed and settled by Kenyans; including demanding bribes of up to Ksh500,000 from those that request for their parcels to be offered back; THAT, there are double allocation for parcels of lands not sanctioned by a statutory committee as required under the Land Act, in total contravention of Section 134 of the Land Act, No.6 of 2012 on provision for establishment of settlement schemes; THAT, irregular, illegal and double allocation of settlement land in Chepchoina Phase I, II and III settlement schemes and fraudulent issuance of title deeds and incessant corruption characterised by demands for huge bribes for Government services have caused unbearable anguish and pain to residents; and, THAT, in regard to Chepchoina Phase III, landless Kenyans who have resided on the plots for 29 years are yet to receive their allotment letters. On the contrary, the settlement officers decided to sell the parcels of land to unsuspecting Kenyans who were promised that squatters already settled in the farms will be evicted for them to take over; THAT, during the month of August 2023, over 600 offer letters were issued to private developers, and the landless squatters already settled in Chepchoina Phase III for 29 years are facing looming evictions; and, THAT, the matter presented in this Petition is not pending before any court of law or any constitutional or legal body. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Public Petitions Committee: 1. Recommend for investigations into alleged irregular, illegal and double allocation of settlement land in Chepchoina Phase I and II and fraudulent issuance of title deeds and incessant corruption characterised by demands of huge bribes for Government services; 2. Recommend that squatters who have settled for more than 29 years in Chepchoina Phase III be given priority during settlement of residents in the area; 3. Recommend for investigations into conduct of settlement officers for failing to adhere to the Land Act, Leadership and Integrity Act, in the course of their duties while settling residents, and that appropriate disciplinary action be taken; and, 4. Makes any other recommendation or action it deems fit in addressing the plight of the Petitioners."
