    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week on Tuesday, 15th October, 2019, I stood under the provision of Standing Order No.47 (1) and sought a Statement with regard to the people who were evicted in Chepturo Village in Nandi County. The Deputy Speaker was in the Chair. In his wisdom, because the Statement was cross-cutting different departments, the Speaker nominated the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources and the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to handle the Statement. This morning, we tried to have the first meeting so that we delve into this matter but we were unable to raise quorum because of the logistics of convening two Committees. I think it is Sen. Sakaja who stated that it is very difficult to put two Committees to work. I consulted the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. Having looked at the matters that were raised in the Statement, he thought that the Statement should be given to the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources to handle. He also said that if we need any assistance from the other committees, then we can consult them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, because of the urgency of this matter, I request you to redirect this Statement to be handled by one committee which is the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources."
