    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Petition by Hon. Korir. From the outset, I would like to indicate that the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources is already seized of this matter. We had a sitting yesterday where we requested the CS for Environment and Natural Resources to appear before the Committee this coming Monday so that he can explain to the Committee and the nation why he pronounced himself on this particular matter. The issue of Ngong Forest is extremely emotive, bearing in mind the fact that just the other day we had a similar incident in Mau Forest. When we engaged the same CS on the evictions in Mau, he indicated that the people who were being evicted had encroached into land which initially was not supposed to be part of the settlement scheme. There are 22 blocs in Mau, many of which have been encroached into. We directed the CS to do a clean-up of the entire 22 blocs. When it comes to areas which have been invaded by the most vulnerable members of the society, that is where you end. There are so many other areas which I do not want to mention here.
