    "content": " I will try to avoid my Kikamba so that when I say “Committee” and “Kamiti” they sound different. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, these are some of the highlights in the Report. The Committee observed that the basis of the complaint was the allocation of Kamiti LR No.8390 forest, and that there were truly internally displaced persons. The former President, His Excellency Daniel Toroitich arap Moi pronounced that the land from Kamiti Forest would be excised for their resettlement. This was communicated also by the then Provincial Commissioner, Mr. Victor Musoga to the Kiambu County Council that LR No.8390, Kamiti Anmer Forest land was subsequently allocated to the squatters in 1995. Additionally, individual owners also obtained 149 title deeds for the same piece of land. Based on a field visit conducted by the Committee, it observed that the land was nearly fully occupied as evidenced by the presence of residential houses and public primary schools. Some of the schools were constructed using NG-CDF money of the constituency. There is also provision of water, electricity, churches, and a cemetery among other public utilities. We also established that there were several groups laying claim to the land in question, that is, the Kamiti Forest Squatters Association, Kamiti Anmer Development Association, Muungano wa Kamiti Group and Kamiti Anmer Development Welfare Group. There were disputes among these groups which the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government made effort to resolve. Based on the submission made to the Committee, it observed that there existed serious security concerns due to disputes among the various groups concerning ownership of this land. The Committee also noted that the allocations and subsequent issuance of title deeds were unprocedural in that they were done before degazettement."
