    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to comment on this Petition. I am aware of this situation since I come from the same community. This is an issue which is very live in the community. I also thank the community members for having trust and faith in the Senate. This is because these are issues that need to be addressed. I hope, when it goes to the right Committee, which is the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, which I am a Member, we will take it up on behalf of the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that we have been losing our land; like the 150 hectares, which was given to Lake Turkana Wind Power Project, where we still have the case in court for the past six years. We have found it to be a very tall order. Once community land is acquired, to get it back is difficult. As the Senate and the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, we will endeavour to look at all the prevailing situations; the land status and any other outstanding issues, so that we deal it fairly."
