Members of the National Assembly have raised concern that the National Government has not only caused significant delays but has also failed in its duty to compensate citizens for the lands acquired for infrastructural projects.

The legislators noted that a number of Kenyans find themselves trapped in severe destitution due to the Government's forceful acquisition of their lands without compensation. 

The National Assembly Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works led by Hon. Johana Ngeno (Emurua Dikirr) carried out inspection visits of several housing projects within Nairobi county. The projects which are located in Parklands, Starehe and Shauri Moyo form part of the Government plan to realize affordable housing for Kenyans of low income.

The National Assembly’s Public Petition Committee led by Hon. Nimrod Mbai (Kitui East) met the State Department of Wildlife Principal Secretary (PS) Ms. Silvia Museiya together with the Director General Kenya Wildlife Services, Dr. Erustus Kanga to discuss a petition filed by Hon. Aramat Lemanken (Narok East).
