The vibrant Starehe Member of Parliament Hon. Amos Mwago now wants the kenya kwanza administration to come out clear on its compensation plans following the demolition of structures on riparian lands
Seeking a statement from the Departmental Committee on Lands and Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs, Mwago said the “purported” compensation plan appears to be limited to a few individuals.
The lawmaker said many rightful landowners are in a state of uncertainty and despair.
“What measures has the ministry put in place to ensure a fair and transparent compensation process for land owners affected by those demolitions?” the MP posed.
Mwago further wants the government to outline the specific plans for providing resettlement options for the displaced families.
“What steps has the Ministry taken to ensure that future demolitions are conducted humanely, with adequate notice provided to affected citizens and adherence to the due process?” he further posed.
Mwago said he needs the responses within the shortest time possible stating that the demolitions are ongoing and people are “languishing in confusion” by the actions of the government.
In May, 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.
