"content": "Land issues in this country date back to the colonial period when the European settlers displaced thousands of Kenyans from the white highlands. Nandi County was one of the seriously affected areas. We also have Kericho and other parts of this country. To delve into the issue before this Committee is to really look at the issues bedeviling Kenyans every time a petition is raised. If you look at the issue of the Ngerek - Chepkumia Petition that was brought before this House, the Government took land and converted it into a forest, and up to date the people have not been compensated. We have former highland areas which were European Settler areas like Chemelil and other parts of Nandi County. Right now, the locals are settling there without title deeds."

Speaker, this petition needs to be looked at expeditiously so that the issues affecting the landless people which is very common in Nandi Hills, Tinderet and other parts of the country can be looked at. Sometimes back, there have been petitions from the Coast Region and many other counties. I want you to direct that the Public Petitions Committee looks into these matters and expeditiously bring a report to the House. The House would, therefore, have to find a resolution on how to handle land issues facing Kenyans across the country. I, thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": "it has been put in the petition under bullet 8, that in 1994, the land was transferred from one entity to another in a day. Hon. Speaker, you and I being residents know the bureaucracy that surrounds land. The fact that the land was transferred from one entity to another in one day is fishy enough, and a red flag. We also want to speak to the matters that have been here. We want to ask that you accord the seriousness that this matter deserves so that it can get a committee that can look into these issues so that we can, once and for all, start sorting out the injustices that were meted on our people especially on the issues of land. This is so that we avoid pieces of land repossessed by the legitimate people being given to pseudo entities that are calling themselves trustees of the people whereas they are fraudsters and lack the interest of the people. As a resident and representative of the people of Nandi who have suffered for a long time, I support this petition. Just like the Petitioner, I pray that this House, which has resources and the capacity, helps these people resolve this issue so that the people of Nandi can get their land back and proceed with development. Hon. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to add my voice."
