    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands regarding dishonest land buying companies. In the recent past, a number of directors of specific land buying companies have been engaged in land transactions without the involvement of the shareholders. For instance, the directors of Nanga, Kihiu Mwiri, Mwana wi Kio and Graceton Farms in Thika are selling land belonging to shareholders without their knowledge and involvement. This has triggered land disputes, untold suffering and even loss of lives. The Chairperson should therefore, inquire and report on the following:- (1) the measures the Government is taking to ensure shareholders are involved and consulted when land transactions or such decisions are taken by the directors; (2) the steps the Government is taking against such directors who allegedly conduct land transactions without the knowledge of the shareholders; and (3) the measures the Government is taking to safeguard the interests of such shareholders."
