    "content": "Thirdly, the Report of the Petition by Hon. Muthomi Njuki regarding the alleged grabbing of public land belonging to Chuka Township Primary School is also expected to be tabled within one week. The Committee is in the process of inquiring into the following petitions and is awaiting various Government injustices to make their submissions. First, we have a Petition by the residents of Kajiado West Constituency, Kajiado County on the inquiry into the compulsory acquisition of land, Ref No.Ngong/Ngong/1959 referred to this Committee on 25th June, 2015. I wish to report frustrations of the Committee in terms of getting one of the key witness or persons who are supposed to help us dispense of with this Petition. They are Prof. Judy Wakhungu, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. We have tried to call the CS eight times to appear before the Committee and she has always been making excuses not to appear. Therefore, the delay is due to that particular Ministry. It is the same for number two; that is the Petition by the residents of Mavoko Constituency regarding alleged compulsory acquisition of land in Mavoko Constituency, LR No.10029/2 referred to this Committee on 30th June, 2015. I apologise because the CS in charge of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources has not been able to make her submissions to the Committee to enable it finalise the report. Thirdly, we have a Petition by Hon. William Kisang MP, on behalf of Chebororwa Community in Marakwet West Constituency regarding ceding of 1,800 acres of Chebororwa Agricultural Training Centre to Chebororwa Community referred to this Committee on 20th October, 2015. The Member of Parliament who presented the Petition has already appeared before the Committee and we are getting more information from the concerned parties. Fourthly, we have the Petition by Mr. Joseph Mugambi and Ms. Ruth Nchurubi regarding the resettlement of Ntirimiti Subuiga Squatters in Meru County Land Parcel Nos 2806/3/Subuiga Bosnia and 2822/3/Ntirimiti Settlement Scheme referred to this Committee on 13th October, 2015.
