    "content": "citizen of the Republic of Kenya and the Chairperson of the Poka Group Ranch in Kajiado County. As you are aware, Article 119(1) of the Constitution, states that:- ‘Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation.’ Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised by the said petition are:- 1. THAT, the Poka Group Ranch is made up of several Maasai Community families with an estimated 9,000 hectares of grazing land. 2. THAT, pursuant to the Land Group Representative Act which allow for the subdivision and individualization of the Group Rance, the members of the Poka Group Ranch subdivided the property amongst themselves setting aside 2,148 hectares as a holding ground, commonly known as Emali Holding Ground for the purposes of trade. 3. THAT, in 1980 the Olkejuado County Council privately and without consultations leased the property to Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA) and in around June 2018, a group of people unknown to the Group Ranch members invaded a section of the land and fenced it. 4. THAT, this prompted officials of the Poka Ranch Group to conduct a search of the land and learnt that unlawful transaction and dealings had taken place. The results of the land indicated that the original LR. Kajiado/ Kaputei South/23 had been subdivided into two different parcels in 1995 as follows: - a) Parcel LR. Kajiado/Kaputei South/46 b) Parcel LR. Kajiad/Kaputei South/47 5. THAT, the parcel LR Kajiado/Kaputei South/47 was further subdivided into three parcels. These are: - a) Parcel LR Kajiado/Kaputei South/887 b) Parcel LR Kajaido/Kaputei South/888 c) Parcel LR Kajiado/Kaputei South/889 6. THAT, the Parcel LR Kajiado/Kaputei South/889 now measuring approximately 69.36 hectares was unlawfully transferred and is currently solely owned illegally owned by hon. David Ole Sakori, former MP, Kajiado Central 7. THAT, Parcel LR. Kajaido/Kaputei South/888 measuring 32.38 hectares was unlawfully transferred and currently jointly owned by hon. David Ole Sankori, and Mr. Walter Bernard Makundi Mukuria. 8. THAT, the search of Parcel LR Kajiado/Kaputei South/887 has been unsuccessful hence the ownership is unclear. 9. THAT, the Kajiado County Government has gone ahead to equally subdivide Parcel LR. Kajiado/Kaputei South/46 ad set aside 200 hectares for the construction of a market centre without participation of members of the Poka Group Ranch. 10. THAT, the Standard Gauge Railway passed through sections of the land in dispute and the community has since learnt of the compensation of Kshs40 million which has not been availed to the Poka Group Ranch Community.
