dc.description.abstract	EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report responds to the prayers sought by Petitioners in Public Petition No 004 of 2021 regarding the irregular extension of the Galana ranch boundary. The Petition was conveyed to the House by Hon. Michael Kingi MP on 23'd June 2021 onbehalf of the Petitioners. The Petitioners requested the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Lands to inquire into the matter to secure the restoration of the original boundary points of Galana game and ranching land to safeguard the land initially allocated to the local community. They also sought the intervention of the Committee to cause the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning to complete the adjudication process in the areas where it had begun and urgently commence the process in the remaining areas to ensure that community members are issued title deeds. Regarding the first prayer, the Committee observed that although the Petitioners believed that ADC undertook a boundary review in2020, the information provided by the Cabinet Secretaries for Lands and Physical Planning and Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries indicated that ADC did not carry out any boundary review in the Survey of Kenya map and physically on the ground, therefore according to the Cabinet Secretaries the boundaries of ADC remain as they were in 1972 as per F/Rl19186. However, the Committee noted that the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries acknowledged that in October 2020, a fact-finding team from the Corporation visited the site and reported that persons working for private surveyors were subdividing and beaconing the land. The Corporation reported the matter to the Ethics and Anti-Comrption Commission and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. Consequently, the Committee concluded that the boundary dispute can be solved if the Director of Survey conducts a repeat boundary picking exercise, involving all the affected stakeholders, to ascertain the boundaries between ADC Land and the Community Land. Regarding the second prayer, the Committee did not receive evidence confirming that the declared adjudications adjacent to ADC Galana/ Kulalu Ranch have encroached on the ADC land. The Committee concluded that the issue could be determined through a repeat the picking exercise involving all stakeholders. The Committee recommends that the Director of Survey, in collaboration with the ADC, County Government of Kilifi, the National Land Commission, and representatives of the local communities, including the Petitioners, undertake a repeat picking exercise to determine the boundary between Galana Kulalu Ranch, ADC 1 FR. 119186 and Adu Kamale/ Adu Chamari adjudication sections within six months of the tabling of this report. The Committee also recommends that the Ethics and Anti-Comrption Commission and the a Directorate of Criminal Investigations expedite and conclude the ongoing investigations IV ( l into the attempted illegal subdivisions and encroachment of Galana Kulalu Ranch, ADC 1 FR. 119/86 land with a view to prosecuting any persons found culpable.	en_US
