    "content": "Article 1 of our Constitution talks about the sovereignty of the people. All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with the Constitution. The people may exercise their sovereign power either directly or through their democratically elected representatives. This House is exercising that sovereignty of the people. When Governor Sang tables this Petition about the colonial injustices that were done, we are aware that the country has done a Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) Report and a Ndung’u Report which look at the displacements and issues related to land. It is incumbent upon this House to look at some of those Reports that were done. I urge that, if it is possible or within the power of the Committee, they table the TJRC Report when they present their Report, so that we are able to look at all issues pertaining to land in this country, not just only within a certain region. This is so that injustices can be rectified."
