    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Mine is a comment on the Petition by Hon. Njuguna, the Member for Gatanga. Land issues in this country have caused a lot of chaos especially among squatters. We cannot talk about squatters without mentioning fraud in land issues. We have communities that have lived in some areas for as long as they came into existence, only to be told that they are squatters. A classical example is Kedong Ranch where a community that has lived there for the last 100 years was told recently that the land has been sub-divided and people in Nairobi have been issued with title deeds. This is the case and yet their generations have lived on the land without knowing that they need title deeds. The issue of squatters has haunted every Government. It is time we got a conclusive decision. We should solve this issue once and for all. I would like to ask the Departmental Committee on Lands to take this Petition seriously and give us guidelines on how to deal with petitions. This is because every successive leadership has had a problem. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
