"content": " I would like to respond as directed by the Speaker yesterday. The Member for Kilifi South, Hon. Ken Chonga had requested a Statement regarding the eviction of Mr Kea Rimba Gona family from land registered LR No.MN11783 by Mahmoud on 11th October 2024. The Member, specifically, wanted to be informed on the following: 1. Why the family of Kea Rimba was evicted from the disputed plot which they had stayed for over 60 years; 2. When the family will be allowed to access their home until the court resolves the dispute; 3. Why police officers from Ndonya and Mtwapa have assisted Mr Mahmoud in frustrating the Kea Rimba family by denying them access to land; 4. The step taken to ensure Mohamed Abdalla does not acquire possession of land in dispute; and, 5. If there is compensation from the Ministry. I want to state as follows. Mr Mohammed Abdalla bought the land in question in 1982; that is 42 years ago. He subsequently hired Mr Kea Rimba Gona to work for him on the farm. The land measuring 4.27 hectares is a freehold and is registered under Abdulla Mohamed Abdulla as per the search dated 15th August 2024, but several subdivisions are registered against the title. The land has a farmhouse belonging to the landowner which Mr Kea Rimba Gona moved in after the death of Mr Mohammed Abdalla in 2002. Before his death, Mzee Mohammed instructed his family to apportion two acres of land to Mr Kea Rimba acknowledging the long period he had worked for him. I wish to table another copy of the agreement attached. However, Gona Rimba refused to take his two acres. He demanded an additional one acre, to which the family agreed. Instead of taking three acres, he moved to court and filed an adverse possession case claiming the entire land. The matter is alive in the High Court."
