    "content": "The acquisition of this Land by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration may not serve the public interest of the Samburu Community as the remaining land available to the community is scarce and vital for cultural practices and livestock rearing and or pastoralist lifestyle. In the statement, the committee should- (i) Provide a justification for the proposed acquisition considering that the Government is already currently leasing vast tracts of land from the group ranch for use by the National Intelligence Service (NIS), as well as over 80,000 acres for use by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), resulting to loss of livelihoods to the pastoral community. (ii) State the criteria and guidelines used by the National Land Commission (NLC) in approving the request from the Ministry of Interior and National Administration for the acquisition of the land. (iii) Investigate whether the proposed land for accusation was mapped out and valued by the NLC as required under Section 107(4)(a) of the Land Act. (iv) Indicate whether public participation was carried out by the NLC or the Ministry of Interior and National Administration as envisioned by Articles 40(3) and 232(1)(d) of the Constitution to establish the needs of the Losesia Community vis-à-vis the need to develop security infrastructure and a training facility in Samburu County. (v) Provide the criteria proposed to be used by the NLC in assessing the value of the community land for purposes of facilitating prompt payment of just compensation to the affected persons."
