    "content": "I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of Kajiado West Constituency in Kajiado County, draw the attention of the House to the following:- 1. That, vide Gazette Notice No.890 of 1957, published pursuant to the provisions of the Native Lands Trust Ordinance, Cap. 100, Laws of Kenya (now repealed), on 5th March 1957, the Government vested approximately 1,510 acres of land to the Veterinary Department for purposes of developing a veterinary farm and a training centre; 2. That, the said Gazette Notice clearly indicated that the setting apart was for the benefit of the natives by reason of the use to which the land was going to be put; 3. That, contrary to this noble idea for which the land was set aside, it has never been utilized for the purpose and the Veterinary Department seems to have no intention of utilizing it as envisaged. 4. That, the said parcel of land has over time been illegally excised thereby disenfranchising the Keekonyoike Community of Kajiado, the local community being thereto referred to as “The Africans” in the Gazette Notice. 5. That, approximately 473 acres have since been irregularly excised and title deeds issued for purposes not in tandem with the original intention for the setting aside of the said parcel. 6. That, if urgent intervention is not made, the remaining 1,037 acres of the said parcel of land stand the risk of being allocated to purposes not beneficial to the community. 7. That, efforts to have the land reverted to the community since the Veterinary Department is not using it have been fraught with frustrations. 8. That, the matter in respect of which this petition is made is not pending before any court of law or constitutional body. 9. That, nearly 1,037 acres registered as L.R No. Ngong/Ngong 21400 currently remains un-alienated. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Lands, does the following:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
