    "content": "THAT, the Cabinet Secretary further informed the meeting that sufficient land has since been acquired by the Army in Isiolo for long-term training and, therefore, grounds in Murramur were no longer viable for army training. THAT, out of goodwill, the Samburu County Council allocated 400 hectares in Baragoi for use by the Army, in place of the Murramur land which was already occupied. THAT, Murramur community was never consulted when their land was given to the Ministry of Defence as a training ground for the Army. THAT, despite efforts to resolve the tussle between Murramur community and the Ministry of Defence, no solution has been found. THAT, the issues in respect of which this Petition is made are not pending before any Court of Law or before any constitutional or statutory body. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly through the Departmental Committee on Lands and the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations respectively:- (1) Investigate the issue and recommend that the Cabinet Secretary for Defence reverts ownership of Murramur land back to the local community; and, (2) Makes any other order and/or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the matter for the welfare of the residents of Murramur. And your Petitioners will ever pray."
