    "content": "Hon. Members, this is Petition No.4 of 2018. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No.225(2)(b), I wish to convey to the House that my office is receipt of a petition signed by three persons namely: Patrick Muriuki Kanga, Robert Wanjau Gichohi and Joseph Mwangi Maina, on behalf of members of Mt. Kenya Forest Squatters and Residents of Meru County. The petitioners allege that there have been instances of irregular allocation of land set aside for settlement of squatters in Meru County. The petitioners contend that a total of 930 hectares of land were excised from the Mt. Kenya Forest in Ontulili Area in Meru for settlement of squatters. Further, the petitioners allege that after the conveyance process, the title deed of the Ontulili block of Mt. Kenya was irregularly issued to an individual instead of being issued in favour of the squatters. The petitioners are, therefore, praying for the National Assembly to investigate the allocation and ownership of Ontulili block of Mt. Kenya LR/No.12234 and inquire into the matter of the Ontulili squatters with a view to having the over 1,435 families currently living in deplorable and inhuman conditions settled on excisions of the Ontulili block of Mt. Kenya LR/No.12234 gazetted as Civil Notice Nos.68 of 1975 and 107 of 1977. 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."
