    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to present this public Petition on behalf of the family of the late Haggai Chimakile Mulati from Meso Farm, Kiminini Constituency, Trans Nzoia County, who was killed by the police/the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR). I, the undersigned, on behalf of the family of the late Haggai Chimakile Mulati, a resident of Meso Farm in Kiminini Constituency, Trans Nzoia County, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, on 27th January 2017 while Haggai Mulati was herding cattle at his father’s home in Meso Farm in Kiminini Constituency, the late Haggai Chimakile Mulati of ID. No.32882209 was allegedly shot dead by police/KPR under mysterious circumstances. THAT, it is alleged that the young man met his death in an attack by the police/KPR who were evicting residents of Meso Farm due to a land dispute. THAT, this eviction was being conducted without the knowledge or involvement of the chief or the local administration THAT, this killing is a gross violation of Article 26(3) of the Constitution on the right to life. THAT, efforts to address and resolve the matter have been futile. THAT, issues in respect of this Petition are not pending before any court of law, tribunal or constitutional or any legal body. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Lands or Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, recommends that the National Land Commission looks into the matter of Meso land dispute and makes the necessary recommendations It also makes any other order or direction that it seems fit in the circumstances of the case of the killing of the late Haggai Chimakile Mulati caused by the KPR."
