    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Petition by Hon. Ken Chonga, Member for Kilifi South, pertaining to the land issue in his constituency. Having listened to him, this is a matter that should be expeditiously resolved. Unfortunately, the Public Petitions Committee has been very slow in processing petitions. It is now close to two years since I brought a petition pertaining to Chepchoina Settlement Scheme, and it has not been resolved. Now that Hon. Ken Chonga has brought this Petition, my petition and any other petitions pending before the Committee should be resolved quickly. I normally sit closer to the Chairman of the Public Petitions Committee, who is always here. He is listening to this. I hope his Committee will move with speed to not only address the Petition by Hon. Ken Chonga, but also the petition on the Chepchoina Settlement Scheme. I was there over the weekend, and there are still a lot of quarrels between wananchi there. You have others coming and ploughing people's land when they have no allotment letters. This creates insecurity, instability, and it also affects the production of food which threatens food security. As we bring these petitions to the House, we expect they will be expeditiously resolved. I do not know whether the Committee could table the reports in this House, and then maybe move even some Motions or debates so that Members can contribute to them and resolve some The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
