    "content": "THAT, in 1992, during the initial land allocation to beneficiaries as compensation, some individuals and entities were allegedly allocated parcels of land irregularly by the then provincial administration. THAT, following complaints against the compensation process by the residents, a taskforce was formed in 2016 to investigate and address the anomalies which subsequently led to three splinter groups due to internal disagreements. THAT, one of the groups sub-divided the land, drew a new map (Sergoit-Karuna Block 5) which overlapped with the 1992 allocations thus causing boundary disputes among the residents. THAT, the Sergoit Community and un-compensated land owners formed a committee that actively pursued the matter with the support of the County Commissioner, who placed a caveat on any transactions on Crown Land until the issues were resolve. THAT, out of the 1,500 acres, only 900 acres is occupied by genuine beneficiaries who are also facing displacement after the 2016 sub-division map. About 450 acres were allegedly acquired and inhabited illegally by private developers while the rest of the 150 acres is a water catchment area. THAT, the matters presented in this Petition are not pending before any tribunal, court of law or any legal body. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Public Petitions Committee: 1. Engages the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development and the relevant authorities with a view to investigating the alleged irregular land acquisition, illegal compensation process and other malpractices for Crown Land (LR 883/2) in Moiben Constituency, Uasin Gishu County. 2. Recommends due compensation to all members of Sergoit Community who surrendered their parcels of land for public utilities. 3. Makes any other recommendation or action it deems fit in addressing the plight of the Petitioners. And your Petitioners will forever pray. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
