    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also support this Petition because what has been said about Nandi can be said about West Pokot and the neighbouring Marakwet. We have suffered countless landslides and mudslides. In fact, the latest is the one that covered a whole town called Chesegon with rocks and boulders from upstream. Historical injustices should be addressed. This is the moment to do that. The reason why people cultivate higher up on the mountains is because land has become scarce and forests have been destroyed. That is why we are prone to these kind of things. As the Committee will be looking at all these issues, there are a number of issues that go with lands that are not flat and West Pokot is a good example. There are few flats areas in West Pokot because there are many mountains and valleys and the same situation is in Nandi. When the Committee will be dealing with this Petition, they should take cognisance of the other areas with similar cases. It should not just be about Nandi alone. The NLC on the other hand should address the issue of lands that were alienated or given to the ADC. When the time comes, it should be used for solving problems for those who have other difficulties. This is because if that is not done, people will squeeze The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
