    "content": "being occupied by Members of Chorlim Co-operative Society, the status of the issue and whether the Government will compensate these farmers for suffering a loss caused by forceful evictions. These are the answers. With regard to the circumstances regarding the degazettment of the land, the land alleged to be occupied by Chorlim Co-operative Society is LR.No.6992/2/ according to the Cabinet Secretary’s records. The land was purchased by the then Ministry of Natural Resources from Keld Lund Sorensen on 15th August, 1976 for Kshs320,000 for the purpose of reafforestation. The Ministry cannot degazette this land since forests fall under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. However, if advised by the same Ministry, it can be degazetted. The status of the issue is as follows. The land is still part of Mount Elgon Forest. With regard to whether the Government will compensate these families, the Ministry is not aware that people were forcibly evicted from this land. However, there are guidelines that apply in the event the Government has to evict people to avail the land for public utility purposes."
