    "content": "we really need to settle those squatters. If possible, the NLC can compensate the owners of the land because the squatters are many. The squatters could be over 40 times the number of owners of the titles. We need to move with speed so that they are settled. We do not want issues to come up. We found that those people could not go to their farms because of squatters, which is really serious. They could be having eviction orders, but there is no way they can go and settle on those farms. So, we need the Government to make sure that these people are settled or the owners of the land are compensated because they are fewer than the number of squatters. The Government should move either way to bring peace in that area. Everybody in Kenya is eligible to buy land in any part of the country. We want to urge the buyers to also make sure that wherever they buy a property in the Republic of Kenya let them utilise it. They should not leave their land empty. The moment they leave their land empty, obviously squatters will go and settle on it. If it is a plot, the buyer should develop it. If it is land, the buyer should construct their home on it and stay there. Buyers should utilise their farms so that no one invades the farms. I support the Report. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
