    "content": "Secondly, allow me also to highlight on the second report of the Committee that is on the Petition that was submitted to the Committee by one Mr. Paulo Kiprotich Mosbei, on behalf of the Torobeek Community that was reported to the Senate on the 22nd February, 2023, following which it was committed to the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for consideration. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the salient issue in the Petition relates to the eviction of members of the Torobeek Community from the Mau Forest and other forests across the country without either being resettled or compensated. The Petitioners also alleged to have been systematically marginalized and discriminated against by the colonial and subsequent governments, including in access to employment opportunities and Government services. They, therefore, prayed that the Senate intervenes by ensuring that the community is recognized and treated fairly as other Kenyans. In the case of the ancestral land that they alleged to have occupied and have lost through evictions, they pray that their members and members of their families and the community at large be resettled if not be compensated. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
