    "content": " Hon. Speaker, in 2003, the Government imposed a caveat on the title deeds of formal settlements within the Mau Forest Complex affecting residents with valid land ownership deeds. The affected areas cover above 67,500 acres of land in Olenguruone, Kiptagich, Tinet and some parts of Keringet Ward areas rendering the said title deeds worthless for any financial or any other transactions as well as public and private infrastructural developments. This has adversely affected the socio-economic and physical developments in the region, particularly those who depend on loans from financial institutions to grow and develop agribusiness. Hon. Speaker, it is on this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Lands on the following: (i) Could the Chairperson explain the circumstances that led to imposing of caveat title deeds for over 67,500 acres of land, in Olenguruone, Kiptagich, Tinet and some parts of Keringet Ward areas in Kuresoi South Constituency? (ii) What urgent steps is the Government taking towards lifting of the said caveat considering that it has negatively affected the socio-economic developments in the region, particularly those who depend on loans from financial institutions to grow and develop agribusiness? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
