    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my apology for coming late, and I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the road reserve at English Point in Mkomani, that is Mainland North and at Allidina, that is Mombasa Island, along the old Nyali bridge has been encroached. My Ministry has taken the following measures in order to reclaim the land for purposes of construction of a second crossing bridge:- Through the Kenya Urban Roads Authority, we have identified the encroached land. The Kenya Urban Roads Authority is preparing to issue notices to the affected people to vacate in order to pave way for the earmarked construction, and we have written to the Ministry of Lands with a view to having the titles of the affected parcels of land revoked. (b)The hon. Member had sought that we table the ownership details of the said parcels of land, but as I have indicated, this land belongs to the Ministry and the people who are there are not the owners. They are merely encroaching. Nevertheless, the parcels of land affected are 173,176, 177, 178, and 1181. They lie on the road reserve corridor. I will table the ownership documents at the appropriate time although, really, these are not the owners; they are just encroachers. Thank you."
