    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to seek your indulgence over an issue I raised last year in February with the then Cabinet Secretary (CS) in the Ministry for Lands, Hon. Charity Ngilu. The matter is with regard to the implementation status of a report that was done during the 10th Parliament involving Nasewa Nucleus Land. The recommendations that were made included the transfer of ownership of that parcel of land to the community, which is Busia County. It also included the issue of compensation of the people who were evicted from the land. Some of those people were not compensated at all while others were paid less than the amounts that were released by the Treasury. In addition, the Government agencies involved in investigations were supposed to carry out further investigations. The CS, at that point, indicated that she was not privy to the report. The report was done by a joint Committee of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives and the Departmental Committee on Lands during the Fourth Session. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to indulge her so that we can know the status of this particular land as it is required by the people of Busia for very important purposes."
