(6) If the resolution under Subsection (5)(b) is supported by a majority of the Members of the National Assembly or the Senate, present and voting, the Cabinet Secretary shall publish a notice in the Gazette.” The two State Departments seek parliamentary approval for degazettement of 4,607 hectares comprising of Phases II and III of the Chepyuk Settlement Scheme in the Mt. Elgon Forest Reserve within Cheptais Forest Station in Bungoma County. The purpose of the degazettement is to resettle the Soy (Sabaot) and Dorobo (Mosop) communities in the area to resolve historical land injustices, reduce security conflicts and spur local development. In this regard, the two State Departments pray that: (i) The National Assembly resolves that this Petition discloses a ground for the variation of the boundaries of a public forest; and (ii) The National Assembly approves the alteration of the boundaries of Mt. Elgon Forest Reserve to allow for resettlement on Phase II and III of Chepyuk Settlement Scheme. A Petition of this nature is new to the House, being one that emanates from the Executive having been approved by the Cabinet."
