    "content": "THAT, the process has been marred with malpractices including but not limited to alteration of plots, non-adherence to the 10% rule of according residents priority in allocation of land and undeserving beneficiaries paying bribes to be allocated plots. THAT, consequent to the malpractices majority of rightful beneficiaries were not allocated land. Some were lumped up in small parcels of land, while others who were issued title deeds for allocated parcels of land were later displaced from their homes in favour of outsiders who are now selling the land. THAT, the petitioners have sought justice from various government agencies such as the County Commissioner for Coast Region, the National Land Commission and the County Government of Kwale but all has been futile. THAT, none of the issues raised in this Petition are pending in any court of law, constitutionally or any legal body. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly through the Departmental Committee on Lands – (i) Intervenes to cause the relevant government agencies to nullify the exercise of survey and validate and verify plots in Mackinnon Land Settlement Scheme. (ii) Recommends that a fresh and transparent exercise be undertaken to ensure that only genuine beneficiaries are allocated plots in the said settlement scheme and that the people’s inalienable right to participate in the exercise is guaranteed; and (iii) Makes any other recommendations it deems fit in the circumstance of this matter. And your petitioners will ever pray. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
