    "content": "efforts to resolve this matter with the relevant Government agencies have been futile; and, 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 of Lands: (i) Institute immediate investigations into the alleged irregular compulsory acquisition of parcel of land Athi Kapiti LR No.7374 to determine the validity of the acquisition and ensure corrective action is taken; (ii) Ensures that the Petitioners’ plight is addressed and land reverts to them immediately; (iii) Makes any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the case. And your Petitioners will ever pray. Hon. Speaker, I have the names of the Petitioners who have appended their signatures in support of this Petition. I hope this House will do its job diligently. This House has received many petitions before, but action on them is still pending. Nobody has cared to address them. I hope we are not going to bring petitions to this House in vain. I hope the Committee responsible is going to undertake this matter because land issues in this country are many. I come from a constituency that has many land problems. Of late, land belonging to Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) and East African Portland Cement has been encroached by aggrieved residents. They have issues to do with occupancy through compulsory acquisition of land. I hope this House is going to address the matter accordingly. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
