    "content": " Thank you, very much, Hon. Speaker. I agree with the sentiments by my brother, Hon. Kaluma. However, it is important to note that the issue here is not about who owns the land, it is the way this is actually being conducted. We need to find out whether notice to vacate was given to these people before demolishing places of worship and places where people earn their livelihood. Over and above that, it is important for this House to take notice that similar cases, the Kenya Airports Authority lost a case against squatters who were in the area of South C because the courts ruled the rights of those squatters as well. So as much as there is an element of who owns what piece of property, there is also the element as to the rights of those who are in that property. There is the one who owns the piece of paper and the one who is actually in the property historically. The issue of Kibos is an issue where the people who are there have been there from pre-colonial times. So, we will stand by your guidance as to how this should be tackled. I am hoping that comes with something that is going to be very conclusive. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
