    "content": "Hon. Members, Standing Order 225(2)(b) requires the Speaker to report to the House any Petition, other than those presented by a Member. I, therefore, wish to report to the House that my Office has received a Petition, submitted by Mr. Stephen Ngari Njuki on behalf of the beneficiaries of the former Mwea Settlement Scheme LR No.26461 FR No.317/30. Hon. Members, the Petitioner claims that the Member for Mbeere South Constituency requested for a statement on the allocation of Mwea Settlement Scheme in Mbeere South Constituency, Embu County to the legitimate beneficiaries. In a reply to the Statement dated 17th September 2018, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government and Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning undertook to resume the settlement of legitimate beneficiaries within 90 days. To date, the beneficiaries of the Mwea Scheme are yet to be resettled despite the undertaking by the relevant Cabinet Secretaries. Hon. Members, the Petitioner is concerned that matters raised in this Petition have been brought before the relevant legal and constitutional bodies but remain unresolved. Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 227, this Petition, therefore, stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Lands. The Committee is requested to consider the Petition and report its findings to the House and the Petitioner in accordance with Standing Order 227(2). Thank you, Hon. Members."
