    "content": "THAT, Gazette Notice No.4496 in the Kenya Gazette dated 10th May 2019 lists registered owners of the parcels of land along the road whose land is intended for compulsory acquisition by the NLC on behalf of KeNHA; THAT, members of the Matisi Community whose land has been earmarked for demolition have not been listed in the stated Gazette Notice and yet, their land is also earmarked for acquisition; THAT, the residents are apprehensive that they are likely to lose their property without compensation, since in the terms of the Gazette Notice, only the people listed therein are eligible for compensation; THAT, despite assurances of compensation given to the residents by the two relevant authorities (KeNHA and NLC) during a public participation exercise on 12th June 2018, there seems to be no action on the matter; THAT, efforts to resolve the matter by engaging the authorities by the community leaders have been futile; and, THAT, the matter in respect of which this Petition is made is not pending before any court of law or constitutional body. THEREFORE, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through its relevant Departmental Committee on Lands: (i) investigates the status of compensation of land occupied by Matisi Community that is earmarked for compulsory acquisition for the expansion of Kitale-Endebess-Suam Road; (ii)intervenes through the Ministry of Lands and the NLC to ensure that the residents of Matisi Community not listed in the Gazette Notice are also considered for compensation for their land and property earmarked for acquisition or demolition; and, (iii) makes any other recommendations that it deems fit in the circumstances of the Petition. And your petitioners will ever pray."
