    "content": "5. THAT, in breach of the agreement on the boundaries for forest land and settlement as was agreed upon in 1950, the South Nyanza County Council planted trees well beyond the area vacated for forest cover and stretched into land that had been reserved for settlement of the community; 6. THAT, according to records at the Lands Registry, Kodera Forest covers an area of 1,715 acres and the community is claiming 10,100 acres of unplanted zone of land in God Agulu and Lidha Beats within Kodera Forest; 7. THAT, contrary to Article 40 of the Constitution, the Kenya Forest Services established its offices on the disputed section of the land and proceeded to plant exotic trees thereby denying members of the community their inalienable right to ownership and occupation of ancestral land in God Agulu and Lidha Beats; 8. THAT, from 1957 to date, attempts by the community, through its representatives, to engage the administration, including the then South Nyanza and Homa Bay County councils, the Kenya Forest Services and the Ministry of Lands through correspondences and visits to the said offices to resolve the dispute have never been successful; 9. THAT, the issues presented in this Petition are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body;"
