G. Alleged violation of Article 21 of the Charter Applicant's Submission 191 . The Applicant contends that the Respondent has violated the rights of the Ogieks to freely dispose of their wealth and natural resources in two ways. Firstly, by evicting them from the Mau Forest and denying them access to the vital resources therein , and secondly, by granting logging concessions on Ogiek ancestral land without their prior consent and without giving them a share of the benefits in those resources . 192. Countering the Respondent's contention that it has incorporated Article 21 of the Charter into the Kenyan Constitution 59 , the A p pI i cant maintains that, there is s t iII no implementing legislation in place in this regard . The Applicant adds that, under the previous Constitution and legislation , the Respondent was unable to implement the framework for protection of the Ogieks , who, could not claim any part of Kenya as their community land like other communities. 193 .
