    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have a Public Petition on behalf of the residents of Luanda Constituency. I wish to draw the attention of the House to the following:- (i) THAT, Emmabungo Ward, Karateng Sub-location, Marera Sub-location, Kolunje Sub-location and Rata Sub-location are located in Maseno area of Vihiga and Kisumu counties. (ii) THAT, there is a long standing boundary dispute between Vihiga and Kisumu counties over the location of Emmabungo Ward, Karateng Sub-location, Marera Sub-location, Kolunje Sub-location and Rata Sub-location located in the Maseno area. (iii) THAT, the residents of the said areas are denied or have limited access to Government services, particularly bursaries at the county and constituency levels due to the alleged boundary dispute. (iv) THAT, due to the said boundary dispute, there is no fair distribution of development projects and services in the Maseno area of Kisumu and Vihiga counties, and the county government officials have allegedly arbitrarily and maliciously made policies and decisions against the interests of the residents of the said area. (v) THAT, the Kisumu County Government closed the only public access road from Kisumu to Maseno Hospital due to the said dispute, hence causing untold suffering to the area residents, and further that there is alleged irregular transfer of Government and community property and land to individuals, which deprives the community the legitimate right and claim over land. (vi) THAT, the residents are denied access to essential facilities such as registration of persons, births, deaths and land title deeds. (vii) THAT, efforts to resolve this matter with the relevant authorities have been futile; and, (viii) THAT, the matter presented in this petition is not pending before any tribunal or court of law. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
