    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands regarding the encroachment of land LR No.30013 in Jamhuri Location, Galole Constituency. Hon. Temporary Speaker, Tana River County borders Garissa County at Ijara Sub- county. Whereas, the relations have been cordial, there have been developing boundary disputes between the two administrative units. The residents of Jamhuri Location in Galole Constituency have raised a concern on encroachment of community land by people alleged to be from the neighbouring Ijara Constituency. There has been evidence of erection of beacons, bush clearing and raising of foundations for construction purported to be an airstrip. Hon. Temporary Speaker, most villages in Jamhuri Location lie on a flood basin and therefore, the community land that has been encroached into is the only one left for the residents to occupy and undertake activities for their livelihoods. The residents fear a possibility of insecurity following the encroachment of the community land by the residents of the neighbouring constituency. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the following: 1. Provide details of the ownership of the land in Jamhuri Location, Galole Constituency and the identities of persons who have been illegally undertaking construction on the said land? 2. Provide a report of any public participation undertaken prior to the land being alienated from the residents of Jamhuri Location in Galole Constituency? 3. Explain whether the land has been allocated for any Government project and provide details of the project?"
