    "content": "When you read this Report, the Committee informed the House that the reason we need to resettle the people in Chepyuk and Chepkitale is because the Government has built schools there and there are offices for the District Officer and the Chief. If that is the reason we are doing that, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry should revisit cases in the Mau, so that when we issue title deeds to the settlers in Chepkitale and Chepyuk, the same Government should not come and tell us later that those title deeds are fake and were not issued rightfully through the right procedure. When we settle this matter of Mt. Elgon, let us do so once and for all. Let us recognise that the Government is doing that and any other successive Governments should follow the law and recognises the title deeds that will be issued to these people, so that later on, we do not revisit the issue and claim that so-and-so issued titles in a manner which is not within the law. On matters affecting our forests, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry should ensure that our forests have trees. Many forests in Bomet, Trans Mara and many other areas have no single tree but they are still forests. We need to ensure that the ministries concerned with conservation do their work properly, so that we are not just bashing other people who are not even concerned with the conservation of the environment. Lastly, as a citizen of this nation, the Government must look at matters that affect its residents. There are no outcast residents in this country. There are no residents who are lesser than others. There is no citizen who is lesser. All of us are citizens of this country. The people living in the Mau Settlement Schemes and the Mau Trust Lands are Kenyans like all of us. The Government must look into their matter properly."
