    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Sang and the petitioners who signed and brought the Petition to this House. The issue of land and historical injustices is critical and touchy. The Talai community needs to be compensated by the Government. These people should look up to the Government of the day. If there is any case to be taken up outside the country, it is the Government that can compensate them or hire the lawyers for them. The Talai people are poor. As we know, they are living in very difficult circumstances. That is why I would like to thank Sen. Sang for bringing up this matter. If it is left like that, people will think that everyone got a good life after independence yet we have other people who are crying out there and they do not know where to go. We have the 1992 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who were displaced from Mount Elgon. These people are living in centres in Trans Nzoia County. I have the list with the names of these people who are about 4000. The Government of the day does not want to compensate them. In the next century, this will also be another case of land historical injustices. It is high time that the Government takes up this issue seriously. The Committee where the Petition will be referred to should look at the TJRC Report and check what the recommendations were so that this issue is brought to a halt."
