"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources concerning the impending compulsory acquisition of part of the land under LR No. Samburu/East Waso/1, which is owned by the Losesia Community group ranch in Samburu County for use by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration as per the gazette notice by the National Land Commission (NLC) on 25th March 2024. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the chairperson of the NLC has published a notice indicating the Ministry of Interior and National Administration's intent to acquire the aforementioned land. There appears to be no evidence that the Losesia Community was consulted or engaged in this process. While Article 40(3) of the Constitution of Kenya allows for the acquisition of land by the State, it mandates that such acquisitions be conducted in the public interest."
