    "content": "In considering the Petition, we were able to meet with Hon. Abass and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. Hon. Speaker, we also undertook a field visit to Masalani on 28th to 30th July where we had public hearings. The following are the observations of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources:- (i) Article 61 of the Constitution gives the public, individually or as a group, a say in matters of land including acquisition, management, transfer, disposition and ownership; From our investigation, we have established that communities living around Boni-Ijara Forest were not adequately consulted before the gazettement of the Forest. This, therefore, makes the gazettement irregular. (ii) From our investigation we also established that no community leader was involved or was aware of any public participation carried out by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS); (iii)The County Government of Garissa provided documents to the Committee indicating that the County Government had disagreed with the proposal by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and instead had offered that the Forest be gazetted as a county forest; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
