    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a public Petition of Mowlem regarding alleged irregular allocation of land LR No.11379/3. I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents and squatters of Mowlem Ward, Embakasi West Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following:- i) THAT, Land Reference Number 11379/3 is situated in Mowlem Ward, Embakasi West Constituency; ii) THAT, the Mowlem squatters have resided on this land since the year 1990; iii) THAT, in the year 2016, the National Land Commission allocated the said land to a group referred to as Kiambu Dandora Group; iv) THAT, several other individuals and groups claim ownership of the said land and have title deeds to this particular land; v) THAT, in the recent past, the Petitioners have lost their properties due to conflicting orders issued by the National Land Commission (NLC) and courts; vi) Further THAT, residents have witnessed police harassment and brutality occasioned by some land grabbers that, efforts to resolve this matter with the relevant Government agencies have been futile; and, vii) THAT, the matter presented in this Petition is not pending before any tribunal or court of law. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Lands:- i) Recommends immediate investigations into the alleged irregular allocation and determine the validity of the current allocations and ensure corrective action is taken. ii) Ensures that the Petitioners’ plight is addressed. iii) Makes any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the matter. Your Petitioners will forever pray. Thank you."
