    "content": "families yet the perpetrators of these heinous acts continue to scour the country free from any repercussions. THAT, Article 69 of the Constitution obligates the State and every individual to protect and conserve the environment. It is therefore imperative that the National Government and the county governments as well as all other state organs take deliberate measures and implement policies aimed at protecting and conserving the environment; and to pursue perpetrators of environmental destruction and bring them to justice. THAT, we have had this matter addressed by relevant authorities and use all available avenues to have the matter considered, all of which have resulted in unsatisfactory responses. THAT, none of the issues raised in this Petition are pending before in any court of law, constitutional or any other legal body. WHEREFORE your humble petitioners PRAY that the Senate: - (i) Investigates the circumstances leading to the alleged murder of Joanah Stutchbury and other environmentalists and conservationists in the country and make appropriate recommendations on the findings, and on the alleged perpetrators; (ii) A call to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Kenya Forest Service to revoke grabbed parcels of the Kiambu Forest Reserve. The Kiambu County Government has no function in a gazetted forest hence stop excision and further developments in the Forest; (iii)Make appropriate recommendations for the protection of the lives of environmentalists and conservationists in Kenya; and (iv) Review relevant policies and existing legislation with a view to enhance the protection of all forest lands and wildlife migratory routes and corridors in Kenya, with a view to shield them from land grabbers."
