    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay the following Petition on the Table:- A petition made by the residents of Emali, Mulala Ward in Makueni County. The petition reads as follows:- We, the 43 undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya and residents of Emali, Mulala Ward in Makueni County draw the attention of the Senate to the following. (1) That there exists a historical feud as to the location of Emali Town along the historical boundary as per the treaty between the Maasai and Kambas in the early 1900s. (2) That, the Emali, Mulala residents through the Emali Residents Association forwarded their complaint to Senator of Makueni, Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. (3) The Senate wrote to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) seeking a clarification to the above disputed boundary. (4) That the Senate received a response from the IEBC clarifying the disputed boundary to be a fixed survey cadestral boundary that marks the perimeter boundary of the township to the west approximately, 800 metres from the railway line to the high voltage power line and the whole township is defined by that cadastral boundary falls under Makueni County where the residents are represented from Makueni County, Kibwezi West Constituency, Emali Mulala Ward as per the IEBC Gazette Notice of 2012 as amended by the High Court in July, 2012. (5) That, the Kajiado County is collecting revenue from traders in the disputed area of Emali Town which is in Makueni Town. (6) That the people living in the disputed area of Emali Town have faced interference from the officials of Kajiado County, especially those from the Lands Department on matters such as property registration. (7) That service delivery to the people of the disputed area of Emali has been greatly hampered as neither Kajiado nor Makueni County Government is offering services to the people of said area. (8) We have made best efforts to have this matter resolved amicably by the respective county governments without success. (9) That the issues in respect of this petition are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body. Therefore, the petitioners pray that the Senate forms an independent commission under Article 188 of the Constitution to establish the boundary dispute between the counties of Makueni and Kajiado at Emali. Your petitioners ever, pray dated 2nd June, 2015. The petition is countersigned by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.."
