"content": "In May 2024, the Government of Kenya directed that all structures built on riparian land should be demolished, following the heavy rainfall that adversely affected tracts of land across the country. However, the manner in which those demolitions are carried out is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about the respect for human rights. Firstly, the Government provided a stringent timeline for vacating the affected areas without proper issuance of notice to the residents or offering alternative places to reside in."

"content": "Secondly, the ongoing demolitions reveal a distressing picture of inhumane treatment. Houses are being demolished without regard for the well-being of the residents. Some of them have lived on the same land for over 50 years and possess legitimate title deeds issued by the Government. Regrettably, mothers and children are being left to sleep in the cold without any alternative accommodation or support from the Government. The demolitions are marred by use of excessive force with unfortunate incidents of people being tragically shot by security agencies during the process."

"content": "Lastly, it is particularly alarming that those demolitions take place without a clear and transparent compensation plan in place. The Government’s purported compensation plan appears to be limited to a few individuals, leaving many rightful land owners in state of uncertainty and despair. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the following: 1. What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure a fair and transparent compensation process for land owners affected by those demolitions? 2. Outline the specific plans for providing resettlement options for the displaced families. 3. What steps has the Ministry taken to ensure that future demolitions are conducted in a humane manner, with adequate notice provided to affected citizens and adherence to the due process?"
