Mkupuo Network Awareness, a non-partisan community-based organisation, represents the residents in occupation of Ramisi Phase 1 Block 5056 in Kwale County. These residents have occupied the said land since precolonial times, having inherited the same land from their forefathers. In 2008, the Government initiated a settlement scheme plan to formalise their occupation which resulted in the issuance of offer letters to the residents. However, to date, no certificates of titles have been issued. The residents were forcibly evicted and their structures demolished to facilitate occupation by M/S Kwale International Sugar Company Limited, which had purportedly leased the land from the Government. The forced eviction meted out on the residents without compensation prompted the affected residents to file ELC Petition No. 43 of 2020 at the Environment and Land Court in"},{"id":1501555,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1501555/?format=json","text_counter":35,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Lungalunga, UDM","speaker_title":"Hon.

The court ruled in their favour, ordering that the Government has an obligation to compensate and resettle the affected residents of the organisation. The Government was granted a period of 12 months to comply with the decree, which expired on 27th January 2024. Despite the lapse of the timeframe, the Government is yet to comply causing undue hardship and suffering to the affected residents. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the following: 1. The measures in place by the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development to comply with the decree of the court considering that Mkupuo Network Awareness was to be compensated, and its members resettled by 27th January 2024. 2. A report on the status of assessments made by the Ministry to ensure all villages within Ramisi Phase 1 Block 5056 are duly included in the valuation report for compensation. 3. An overview of the resettlement plans and the efforts that have been made to conduct awareness among the affected residents on their resettlement. I thank you, Hon.
