    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c) to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands regarding the status of processing of title deeds for squatters residing in Msabaha Sub-Location within Malindi Constituency. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the issue of land settlement in the coastal region has been a protracted matter among the communities in the region, revolving around questions of ownership and residency. In 2022, the Government took significant steps by acquiring land from the Mazrui community with the aim of resettling squatters from Msabaha region in Malindi Constituency, and to resolve the endemic land matters in the region. Indeed, the identification process for the squatters was conducted and concluded in 2022. However, despite these strides, the residents of Msabaha find themselves in an uncomfortable predicament, lacking the crucial title documents affirming their occupancy rights. Moreover, a definite timeline for the completion of the resettlement programme has not been provided further exacerbating concerns by the residents. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the following: 1. What are the specific reasons for the delay in finalising the settlement programme and issuance of title deeds of the residents? 2. Could the Chairperson provide an update on the timeline for settling the residents of Msabaha area in Malindi constituency? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
