"content": " Hon. 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 attempted land grabbing targeting the family of the late Mr Wilson Mbothu in Ting’ang’a Ward, Kiambu County. The Mbothu family has owned and resided on their 236-acre parcel of land in Ting’ang’a Ward in Kiambu, with their ownership properly documented. The family acquired the land from the white settlers 51 years ago, and legitimate ownership is further evidenced by compensation by the Government for land allocated for the development of the Kiambu-Lioki- Ngewa Road, and additional compensation received for allocation of land for the Athi Water 3 Pipeline easement. However, over the past two months, the family has faced systematic harassment through repeated summons from various State agencies, including the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and National Land Commission (NLC), demanding explanations regarding their land acquisition."
