    "content": "Mr. Munga Njanji, a former councillor of the area, and the former chief of Mbambani, should also be investigated as the people who facilitated the squatters who had been settled in Mbambani Settlement Scheme. The investigation should attempt to reveal how the two accessed the allotment letters of the squarters and took them to the directors of Mombasa Cement Company, who bought them at a throw away price and annexed the land that was meant for the squatters. We have also gone ahead and said that if the agencies that are constitutionally tasked to investigate matters of land--- Mr. Mohamed Swazuri is not the National Land Commission. He is just the chair. If the Ministry and the Commission find that the documents have been acquired fraudulently, as we have said, the same land should be repossessed by the Government of the Republic of Kenya and be managed by the National Land Commission (NLC) with a view to transferring it to the rightful community for settlement of the affected squatters in Kilifi County. We beseech the House that this is one of the most serious land grabs that have happened in this country. More than 1,000 acres of land have been annexed by a single company to the detriment of a whole community. Land problems at the coastal region will never cease. We are asking the House to adopt this Report so that the land can be returned to their rightful owners. With those remarks, I beg to move and request the Member for Ndaragwa, Hon. Waweru Nderitu, to second."
