    "content": " Hon. Senators, I hereby report that a Petition has been submitted through the Office of the Clerk of the Senate by Mr. David Muigai Ng’ang’a. As you are aware, under Article 119(1), the Constitution states- “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation.” Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised on the Petition are- (1) THAT, in September 2011, the Petitioner negotiated for and purchased a 5- acre parcel of land, namely Plot No. KJD/KAJIADO/KAPUTIEI NORTH/28126, for the sum of Kshs1,750,000. (2) THAT, all the legal formalities for the transfer were completed, and the title deed for the said parcel of land issued thereon in his wife’s name. The petitioner thereafter proceeded to affix steel pipe poles at the four corners of the said parcel, duly demarcating its boundaries; (3) THAT, early this year, the petitioner visited the property with the intention of developing the same, only to find, to his surprise, that the poles had been affixed, as well as the beacons to the parcel of land, were no longer in place. The petitioner approached the neighbour to the property who stated that the whole property, including the one in question belonged to the family, and the family had never subdivided nor sold it. (4) THAT, thereafter, the petitioner sought the assistance of the Chief Land Registrar at Ardhi House, the Director of Surveys, the District Surveyor in Kajiado, the Senior Land Registrar and various other offices, both at the county and national level, to have the matter resolved. All these offices have not been able to resolve the matter. 1) The petitioner prays that the Senate urgently investigates this matter with a view to having his right to property upheld and guaranteed in the Constitution and for assistance to having ownership of the said parcel of land reinstated to him. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order 225, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes."
