    "content": "(g) That, the Kenya Forest Service has now issued notices to the minority Ngerek Community to vacate the area they occupy in the South Nandi Forest, to enable the KFS to plant trees and conserve the forest as a water catchment area; and, (h) That, while this is being done, members of the Ngerek Community are left with nowhere to go as the land identified and set aside by the Government for their resettlement was grabbed by prominent people who have refused to vacate from the said land. The petitioner, therefore, prays that the Senate investigates this matter, with a view of ensuring- (a) That, the persons unlawfully occupying the land set aside for resettlement of the minority Ngerek Community are immediately evicted from the said land and that any titles issued thereon are revoked; (b) That, the Government, through the KFS or any other agency, is stopped from evicting the minority Ngerek Community from the South Nandi Forest before it has secured land for their resettlement; and, (c) That, the rights of indigenous and minority groups in the country, including forest dwelling communities, are protected and upheld. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.231, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes."
