    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make a statement regarding charges that the Acting Minister for Lands has incited local residents to invade farms around Emali/Kibwezi District. Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week, an incident occurred within the former Nzai Farm whose initial land titles were LR.No.9730 and LR.No.9731. Part of the above mentioned land was transferred to Maj. (Rtd) S.M. Muiu, the late hon. Mulu Mutisya and Mr. James Mutua in 1980 and 1981. The land in question is situated in Makueni Constituency. Several people were arrested during the course of a police operation causing a fracas on the farms. The said land was originally trustland inhabited by the people of Mbitini and Mukaa locations. The Colonial Government June 26, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2013 transferred it to Mr. N.N. Powell and Mr. Peckover. In 1970, Mr. Peckover who had now been given both parcels of land, that is, LR.No.9730 and LR.No.9731 was deported. Ultimately, the land was purchased by the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC)."
