    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding illegal eviction of people in Kwale County. Hon. Speaker, a contingent of officers from the General Service Unit led by the Deputy County Commissioner for Lungalunga Sub-County conducted an alleged illegal operation to evict residents of Kanana, Nguzo A, Nkaphu and Pongwe areas of Kwale County from their ancestral land to allegedly pave way for expansion of land for Kwale International Sugar Company Limited. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the circumstances under which the officers from the General Service Unit were used to harass and intimidate the residents through an illegal operation, and whether the same does not amount to abuse of office by the Deputy County Commissioner; and, whether the Government could put immediate stop to such eviction to give way for alternative dispute resolution mechanism. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
