    "content": " Order, Senators. I have a number of Communications to make. MEETING WITH THE CABINET SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF LANDS, HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Hon. Senators, on Thursday, 25th February, 2016, Sen. Muthama requested for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Lands and Natural Resources on the management of community and public land in Machakos County. The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Lands and Natural Resources responded to the Statement on 13th October, 2016. Thereafter, the House deliberated on the response and found it unsatisfactory. Members raised concerns about the ongoing subdivision of the land in question and resolved that any sale of the land in contention should be stopped until the issue is resolved. I directed the Standing Committee on Lands and Natural Resources to invite the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and the Chairperson of the National Land Commission (NLC) to a meeting of all Senators to deliberate on this important matter. In this regard, the Committee has invited the Cabinet Secretary and the Chairperson of the National Land Commission to address Senators, tomorrow, Wednesday, 16th November, 2016. The meeting will be held in this Chamber from 10.00 a.m. Hon. Senators, the meeting will discuss issues concerning; (1) The contested piece of land LR. No.11491/R in Kiima Kimwe, Muvuti Ward in Machakos County, more specifically as to whether it is public or community land. (2) Fate of the more than 2,500 squatters who are currently occupying the said piece of land. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
