    "content": "THAT, considering that the arable nature of the disputed land makes it the bread-basket of Isiolo and residents have been practising small and large-scale farming, the impeding eviction would disrupt their economic activity, subjecting them to impoverishment and create conflict over the resources; THAT, the land was also identified as part of the Vision 2030 Government Blue Print and currently, an abattoir constructed by the Ministry of Livestock is operating on the disputed land; THAT, both the county and national governments have heavily invested in infrastructural developments on the land, including two dispensaries, three boreholes and two dams that provide water to the community; THAT, the matters in respect of which this Petition is made are not pending before any court of law or constitutional or legal body; Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Lands – 1. Intervenes through the relevant Ministries with a view to causing withdrawal of the eviction notice until the dispute is investigated by the relevant authorities and resolved; 2. Intervenes through the Ministry of Lands and the National Land Commission to ensure that the disputed land is speedily adjudicated and surveyed with a view to ensuring that residents’ right to their community land is safeguarded. And your petitioners will ever pray. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
