    "content": ", that is; “nine clans”, concerning the boundary dispute between Kirinyaga and Embu counties in respect of the 54 acres known as Mwea Trust Land. The Petition was thereafter committed to the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights which, pursuant to Standing Order No.227, was required to respond to the petitioners by way of a report addressed to the petitioners and laid on the Table of the Senate in not more than 60 calendar days. My point of order relates to the time it has taken to have the Petition heard and determined by the said Committee. Under Standing Order No.227, the Report of the Committee should have been tabled before the Senate on or before 13th July, 2015. It is now 135 days from the date the report of the Committee was due. We have no indications when the Committee will consider the Petition and present its report as required under the Standing Orders. This matter is very important to the people of Kirinyaga County. When I presented the Petition on 13th May, 2015, I informed the House that tension in the affected areas was rising by the day as result of the claims by the Mihiriga Kenda people The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
