    "content": "Baringo North, UDA): Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As a Member of Parliament from Baringo North, which borders that area, I support this Petition. This issue started when some privileged people were serving in the National Land Commission (NLC) and later started the process of gazetting the area of Mukatani as a forest. Hon. Speaker, in that area, people were forcefully moved out of the Mukutani area because of insecurity. The solution to ensuring that bandits do not take that land is not to gazette it as a forest. They ought to do land adjudication so that there is proper land ownership of that particular place. This is a fraud. The Constitution is very clear on public participation. People should not use their positions in Government to rob citizens without knowledge. As a Member of Parliament from Baringo, we are on this. It is not right. The place which is supposed to be de-gazetted and returned to the people is Mochongoi and not Mukutani, which is being gazetted as a forest. That is a grazing area where bandits forcefully removed people, and they will go back when normalcy returns. There is a need for land adjudication but not gazetting it as a forest. I support this Petition on behalf of the people of Baringo."
