    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to present Petition No.28 of 2019 concerning impending evictions from Mazrui Trust land. I, the undersigned, on behalf of We Hatua Yetu Community Based Organisation representing the Killifish North community residents, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, land is an important economic resource that supports the livelihoods of many families; THAT, the advent of Omani Arabs to the Coast of East Africa dethroned African rulership and subjugated many coastal communities to foreign dominion; THAT, the Mazrui family was among the two Omani Arab dynasties that annexed land and ruled over the Coast of East Africa, particularly Kenya; THAT, the Mazrui ruled the Port City of Mombasa until they were dislodged from power in 1828 by Sultan Seyyid Said and dispersed to Killifish; THAT, in Kilifi, they annexed five blocks of land measuring approximately 77,000 acres comprising of Block No.1, Certificate of Title No.409; Block No.2, Certificate of Title No.408; Block No.3, Certificate of Title No.406; Block No.4, Certificate of Title No.407 and Block No.5, Certificate of Title No.414; THAT, the said occupation deprived the indigenous communities, especially in Takaungu, Kiriba Wangwani, Kabarani Mjibu, Mtondia and Mida in Kilifi North Constituency of land for settlement and agriculture; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
