    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I hereby present a public petition by residents of Mavoko Constituency regarding alleged compulsory acquisition of land parcel L.R. No.10029/2 in Mavoko Constituency. I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of Mavoko Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, we are the original and communal owners of the land referred to as “Sheep and Goat” situated in Athi River and Kitengela areas, LR. No.10029/2; THAT, the land was compulsorily acquired from the right owners (the petitioners) for the purpose of holding ground for sheep and goats awaiting slaughter at the Kenya Meat Commission; THAT, the land has never been used for the stated purpose and there is no evidence that the said land will ever be used for holding of sheep and goats. THAT, the land has been allegedly used for other purposes, contrary to the original plans; THAT, efforts to resolve this matter with the relevant Government agencies have been futile; and, THAT, the matter presented in this petition is not pending before any tribunal or court of law. Therefore, your humble petition prays that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee of Lands:- Commences immediate investigations into the alleged irregular allocation and determines the validity of the current allocations and ensures that corrective action is taken; Ensures that the Petitioners’ plight is addressed; and, Makes any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the case. Your petitioners will ever pray. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
