    "content": "THAT, in the late 1960, the NPS, then Kenya Police, established a training camp in Morpus area in Laikipia County. The Petitioners allege that no formal agreement was made prior to the establishment of the police training camp. The activities carried out by the trainees have resulted in a number of lives being lost and residents maimed causing permanent disabilities. THAT, use of explosives has negative effect to the residents including miscarriages, loss of livestock, loss of land, environment degradation and pollution. THAT, the local community has been displaced without following the principle of public participation or compensation. The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) has not embraced the aspect of community social responsibility hence the community has not benefitted in any way despite having forfeited their land for training purposes to the Government. THAT, the issues in respect of which this Petition is made are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or statutory body. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security: (i) investigates and inquires into the matter and recommends a lasting solution to this persistent problem; (ii) recommends compensation for the families who have lost their kin due to the training activities and those injured during the trainings; and, (iii)makes any other order and/or directive that it deems fit in the circumstances of this plight of traders. Your Petitioners will ever pray. Thank you."
