    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am hearing more of the consultations between the Leader of Minority Party and the persons lobbying for seats. The Leader of Minority Party needs to be more attentive because he comes from Kitui County. Having said so, I want to read out the Statement as given to our Committee by the Ministry. Kitui South Game Reserve was gazetted through Legal Notice No.186 on 7th September, 1979. It covers an area of 1,183 square kilometres. The Ministry of Environment, Water and Mineral Resources, through the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), had contracted a consultant to undertake a border survey of the reserve in 2007. The Survey Plan FR345/45 indicated that the reserve is under L.R.27798. The same was expected to be adopted by Kitui County Council to enable the processing of the title. This has, however, not happened. The Ministry, therefore, wishes to confirm that Kitui South Game Reserve has not yet received a valid title deed. The Ministry informed us that they were not aware of encroachment by anybody in the reserve but they were sending a team to confirm whether there was any encroachment. In moving forward the legitimisation of the reserve, the Ministry will send a team to support the County Council of Kitui to acquire ownership documents to the reserve. Hon. Speaker, as I said earlier, we are not in a position to respond to the matters relating to the IEBC. Thank you."
