    "content": "(vi) prayed that the court issues an order that M/s Kwale International Sugar Company Ltd bears the cost of the Petition and makes any other judgement that it deems fit in the matter. (h) THAT, on 27th January, 2023, the Environment and Land Court, Kwale, rendered a judgement in ELC Petition Case No.14 of 2021 (Mkupuo Awareness -Versus - Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development and Others), ordering compensation of the petitioners to the tune of Kshs170 million; (i) THAT, the court granted 12 months to comply with this decree, which duly expired on 27th January, 2024; (j) THAT, despite the lapse of the timeframe, this decree has not been complied with to date, causing undue hardship and suffering to the petitioners; (k) THAT, none of the issues raised in this Petition are pending before any court of law, constitutional or any other legal body. (l) THAT, consequently, the petitioners pray that the Senate- (a) intervenes with a view to ensure prompt payment of the compensatory funds due to the petitioners to the tune of Kshs170 million; (b) owing to the fact that the assessment was for one village named Nikaphu, the Senate also follows up on the compensation of the remaining villages which were not included in the valuation report; and, (c) intervenes and ensures prompt resettlement of the squatters affected as directed in the court’s decree, providing the petitioners with at least five acres each to match the size the Government had previously allocated to them, with the legal representatives of the petitioners participating in each step for oversight purposes."
