    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a Petition to the National Assembly on allocation of land to the Kuresoi Divisional Headquarters in Kuresoi North Constituency of Nakuru County. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Kuresoi North Constituency in Nakuru County, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, in the period 1992 - 1993, due to persistent insecurity experienced in the larger Kuresoi, the then Head of State intervened by ordering deployment of security officers to help restore calm in the area and the establishment of a divisional headquarter to be known as Kuresoi; THAT, in 1997, following a request by the residents of Kuresoi to provide more security officers for security purposes, the then District Commissioner of Nakuru deployed police officers and settled them at the Kuresoi Health Centre since there was no established structures in form of houses or established police station. In 1998, Kuresoi Health Centre was opened and, therefore, necessitated the need to have the officers relocated and housed at a suitable place. Due to unavailability of land to construct a police station and other government offices, the then Hon. Chairman directed the establishment of a police station on land that then belonged to the Kenya Forest Service in Kuresoi Forest. Well-wishers, including saw millers, offered to provide building materials to construct semi-permanent houses for the officers; THAT, further, following the need to bring government services closer to the residents of Kuresoi, the Government establishment other offices including Provincial Administrative offices, county offices, DO’s offices, Chief’s office, KFS office substation and the Ministry of Agriculture office, a fully operational police station and the Ministry of Education through the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) office. This, therefore, necessitated the location hosting the said offices being declared the divisional headquarter. Though the land is public, it still belongs to KFS under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources; THAT, efforts have been made to have the piece of land excised and de-gazetted from the KFS by the community and the Provincial Administration, but have not been successful. The residents aver that the land in question now hosts various Government and county offices and the Petition by the residents is to have the land in question, which measures 10 acres, be de-gazetted The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
