    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This Petition by my colleague from Samburu West is quite in order. Murramur community land has never belonged to the Army physically. The Army went there temporarily and they were training in Kirisia Forest. They have never put up a single structure there. Since they withdrew from there because there were only tents, the community has occupied the land which belongs to them through their ancestral history. More than 2,000 families live on that parcel of land. They even have schools, cemeteries, many structures, a shopping centre and a dam. The whole place is populated. You cannot remove anybody from there. The Government of Kenya provided land in Samburu North in 2012, through the defunct County Council of Samburu. It is ideal to give land to the military in Samburu North because there is a problem of insecurity but there is no insecurity in Murramur. No training should be done there because the land is not even sufficient in the first place. The army have occupied some land in Samburu North and there is a military camp where a company resides. They have put a lot of money and they will be opening the camp any time. I appeal to this House to revoke the allocation of the piece of land in Murramur so that the people or communities that live there can benefit. Land in Samburu North is sufficient for the army to use for training. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
