    "content": "The biggest land owner in this country is the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC). For a more progressive discussion on how to resettle these people, the key most important thing that we should do in this House is not to debate on how we continue encouraging people to destroy our forests or impunity. However, it is on how we can use these corporations, which have completely lost their purpose, and get the land to resettle the people who have encroached into the Mau Forest. Madam Deputy Speaker, the problem we have, as leaders, is that sometimes we are all hypocrites. We know the importance of the environment. When the CS for Environment and Forestry is talking about the importance of conservation, we should be supporting that Government policy. Even if people occupied land in Lang’ata and they knew very well that from the onset they were committing an illegality, we should not sympathize with them. In fact, the only people that I care about are the little children who are suffering. I would request the good Chairperson, the distinguished Sen. Mwangi, to pursue alternative ways of making sure that we resettle these people. There is a lot of land held by the ADC."
