"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek an urgent Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development on what plans it has to resolve the conflict between salt farms managements and the residents of Magarini Constituency. The Statement should state the action that is going to be taken against Crystalline Salt Company and Chem Salt Company. They are uprooting or destroying crops that belong to the indigenous residents of Magarini in Marereni and Kanagoni. Even as I speak now, the tractors are on the farmers uprooting cassava and maize. Bear in mind that this is our season for planting crops in that area. The Statement should also explain how and why there was an illegal extension of the salt farms without considering which areas were suitable for salt processing and which ones were suitable for agriculture. It should also indicate the plans to implement the Malindi Inquiry 2006 Report on human rights violations in Magarini Constituency. It should also state how they plan to implement the Report by the Committee set up by the then Provincial Commissioner of Coast Province, Mr. Ernst Munyi. The Committee was headed by the then DC, Malindi, Madam Anne Ngâetich together with the then DO, Magarini who happens to be a Member of this House today, hon. ole Ntutu. We went round and identified areas suitable for both salt processing and agriculture. In that Report it was recommended that the agricultural land be reverted to the indigenous owners so that it can be used by the residents. The salt areas were given to the salt people."
