    "content": "In any case, if you have allowed somebody to stay on your land for more than 20 or 30 years, the principle of law that applies is that you have to prove that the right of possession still can be enjoyed by that particular individual. Those principles are applied in the courts all the time. I know as a matter of fact that the eviction laws and procedures are in place. Whether or not somebody is on your land and you think they do not deserve to be there and they are unwilling to move out of that land, the step to take under the rule of law is to go to an appropriate body where that matter can be settled. Those images, which went viral all over the world show how Kenya treats its ordinary people. They are sleeping out in the night because they have nowhere else to go. Sen. Outa should call us to accompany him to that area. That should have been like yesterday. We should not only tell the people that we are expressing solidarity but we must also accuse those concerned before the people in Koru and Muhoroni. Since I come from that area, I urge Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., to accept pro bono services to stand up for those citizens in Kisumu County. The Senator had some interest in Makueni and Machakos, which I shall not disclose but I know he will pay in kind. I can see Sen. Wambua laughing because of the enjoyment of that privilege he has in Makueni, Kitui and Machakos. Sen. Wambua is a bishop. Sometimes he presides over it. However, that is not to take away the seriousness of this matter."
