    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, as a son of a squatter and a person who went through the suffering that the people in Mariashoni are going through, first of all, I sympathize with them. I call upon the Committee to take this complaint that has come through their Senator, Sen. Kihika, very seriously. There is something strange that is happening in this country. Sen. Sakaja was the one who captured it well; that it appears that the Government is at war with its citizens. Particularly this Jubilee Government, in its later years, is more vicious against those who voted for them both in Kariobangi in Nairobi, Nakuru, Narok and in Embobut in Elgeyo- Marakwet. They have been so vicious as though the votes they received, they want to settle a particular score against their own constituents and the people who voted for them. It is very shameful to see evictions taking place in Molo in Nakuru County. Let us stop just talking of Mau Complex to confuse the people of this country. Molo is at the heart of Nakuru County. Those people have been living there for more than 20 years and beyond. I saw a 12-year-old boy who was questioning the Regional Commissioner, Mr. Natembeya, asking why they had gone to destroy their houses. What kind of violence is the Government trying to show its own children? Where will these children go? The Constitution protects everybody. The Bill of Rights is meant to protect those people to have shelter and the right of those children to have a living. The right to life of the poorest in this country is been undermined and fought. I hope Sen. Mwangi will have a session like the one in the National Assembly yesterday between the CS and the Members of National Assembly---"
