    "content": "THAT, between 1969 and 1971, land in the said location was adjudicated for purposes of registration except parcel LR. No.5003, which was registered as community land and occupied by the residents as a community; THAT, in 1994, Golini Settlement Scheme was established on LR. No.5003 with the intention to benefit the local community that owned the land under communal land tenure system; THAT, following complaints raised by locals regarding the process, the District Plot Allocation Committee formed a Taskforce in 2003 to look into the matter and recommend appropriate remedies; THAT, a Ministerial Directive made on 2nd March 2007 directed re-surveying of the land in question, which process resulted in sub-division of two hundred and sixty-eight (268) plots based on the recommendations of the Golini Settlement Scheme Taskforce Report; THAT, after the re-surveying, Kwale County Lands Board and the National Land Commission sanctioned verification of the process with a view to hear and sort out any unresolved issues and recommend how to amend and/or operationalise the Taskforce Report; THAT, since the 2007 re-surveying, residents of Golini have never been issued with fresh allotment letters yet the initial map has not yet been abolished, leading to erroneous allocation of the land; THAT, in 2007, the National Land Commission delivered its findings and recommendations at a public baraza in the presence of affected beneficiaries, noting that the said land was ancestral as evidenced by homesteads, graveyards and mature trees; THAT, residents have sought assistance from all relevant State institutions, but no satisfactory response has been given; THAT, the matters raised in this Petition are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body. THEREFORE, your humble Petitioners pray for the intervention of this House, through the Departmental Committee on Lands, to compel the concerned Department to consider issuing them allotment letters in respect of the Re-survey Map of the year 2007 and restrain the beneficiaries of the allotment in the first survey from selling their respective plots before full issuance of allotment letters as per the Re-survey of the year 2007 is concluded. And your Petitioners will ever pray. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
