Wilson Mitumba Women's Group is a social help group established in the late 1980s. It is the bonafide registered owner of LR No. 209/14582 located in Lang’ata, having obtained their title on 1st November 1990. However, in 2005, the police evicted the founding members of the group and occupied the land on which they built the West Park Police Post. Over the years, the group has staged demonstrations pleading with the police to cede back their land without success. The police are claimed to have been using intimidation tactics against the group, such as incarceration and malicious prosecution of leaders of the group with forgery and trespass cases, which they have since lost in court. In accordance with the provision of Article 67(2)(e) of the Constitution, the group sought the assistance of the National Land Commission (NLC), which concluded its investigations in 2016. In a letter dated 13th September 2016, the Commission ascertained that the group was allocated LR No. 209/14582 on 1st November 1990, which they duly paid for on The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
