    "content": "Departmental Committee on Lands regarding land allocated to ranchers by the defunct Nyambene County Council in Meru County. Irregular allocation of public and community land by the now defunct county council disenfranchised many Kenyans of their right to own land. For instance, the allocation of land to community entrepreneur ranchers who never settled on the said land left many Kenyans landless especially in Akithi Division in Tigania West, Meru County. More than 10,000 people stand to be evicted after a court order was issued to ranchers risking closure of five public schools, a hospital and public amenities. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire and report on:- (i) circumstances surrounding the award of the said land to the said ranchers; (ii) measures put in place to ensure Kenyans do not lose their land through fraudulent allocation undertaken by the county council; and (ii) whether it is possible to continue with adjudication on the same land for the local residents to get their title deeds."
