    "content": "FURTHER THAT, this eviction, grazing and settlement by strangers on private and community land is a gross violation of the rights of the affected people, in particular Article 29 on freedom and security of citizens and Article 40 on protection of the rights of property. THAT, the intervention by the Deputy County Commissioner of Mwingi East Sub- County on 28th March, 2019, directing that the herders leave the area within 14 days and return to their home counties has not been complied with. THAT, efforts to resolve this conflict and cause the nomadic herders to leave the affected areas have been futile. THAT, the issues raised in respect of this Petition are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body. THEREFORE, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security: (1) commences investigations into the root causes of the invasion of Ukasi, Imba and Wingemi locations in Mwingi East Sub-County of Kitui County by nomadic herders and establish why the grave violation of the rights of the communities remains unresolved; and; (2) recommends a lasting solution to the conflict among the communities at the border of Kitui and Tana River counties. And your Petitioners will forever pray."
