Speaker: I will make the communication a little later when we have more Members. PETITION IRREGULAR ACQUISITION OF VIPINGO COMMUNITY LAND Hon. Speaker: Order Members! Hon. Members, this is Petition No.01 of 2017. Standing Order No.225 (2)(b) requires that the Speaker reports to the House any petition other than those presented through a Member. I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my office has received a Petition signed by one Messrs. David Munga Mwadende of ID No.8463168 and James Kalenga Muganga of ID No.5012765, on behalf of the indigenous people of Vipingo Lands Community in Kilifi County. The Petitioners aver that during the colonial era in 1913, the Government took over their ancestral land for public use with the assurance of resettling and compensating them, but this never happened. Further, upon expiry of the leases, the land was transferred to private owners under unclear circumstances instead of reverting back to the Kilifi residents. This state of affairs has rendered them as squatters to date. The Petitioners further contend that even with successive Governments coming into power, efforts to reclaim their ancestral lands through the National Land Commission (NLC) and State Department of Lands have been futile. This, according to them, is a contravention of Article 60(1)(b) of the Constitution which recognises and upholds the principle of security of land rights.
