    "content": "THAT, LR. No. 12493 has since been subdivided into many smaller parcels of land and transferred multiple times over the last 43 years and that the Ministry of Lands has always processed the transfers and issued title deeds there on free hold basis to the transferees; THAT, the agricultural activities taking place on parcel of land, LR. No.12493 have been the economic life stay of the area and the County Government of Laikipia generates substantial revenue from taxes collected on farm produce being delivered to markets from the area; THAT, the Kenya Forest Service has failed to formally de-gazette parcel of land, LR. No.12493 contrary to the agreement with Mr. Mwendia and that this failure has a resultant effect on the area being under developed by the county government in terms of infrastructure and social amenities and that the county government has never considered this area whenever national and county government plans are being prepared and budgets thereon allocated; THAT, the petitioners have made efforts to address the matter by relevant authorities all of which have failed to yield the desired outcome. The petitioners, therefore, pray that the Senate through the relevant committee; i) Investigates the matter with a view to fast track the de-gazettement of the parcel of land, LR.No. 12493 situated west of Rumuruti Township in Laikipia County. ii) Intervenes in the manner to ensure that the County Government of Laikipia includes this area in its annual development plans and allocates budgets for establishment of social amenities, construction, grading and maintenance of infrastructure projects for equality and inclusivity. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order 237, I shall now allow comments, observations and clarifications in relation to this Petition together with the Petition that has just been read out by Sen. Cherarkey, all combined for a period of 30 minutes. Sen. Osotsi, please, carry on."
