    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand in solidarity with the affected families. The right to property is enshrined in Article 40 of the Constitution. Whoever wants to defeat that protection and the Constitution, as we say in law, whoever alleges, must prove it. The only instance where such a right can be defeated is where fraud can be ascertained. Hon. Speaker, Sections 25 and 26 of the Land Registration Act reiterate the same position. Fraud, illegality and unprocedural process are the only reasons under which the right to property can be defeated. I want to urge the Committee that is going to be seized of the matter to start their discussions based on those two legal provisions to assist them settle the matter. It is time we settle this matter once and for all. There have been so many cases of this nature. We must truly and fairly settle this matter to set a precedent to be used in future endeavours. With those few remarks, I support the Petition."
