    "content": "Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources concerned with this Petition will look for a way out. Maybe they can combine a number of these petitions, look at similar questions and call on board the concerned people. Today, in the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, we had up to five groups, the National Treasury, Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) and others. The House was so full and one could get scared on how we were going to solve the issues. However, we were very keen because the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare is normally fully attended and every one of us was picking up an issue and we were able to solve. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources should find a way out so that we do not relegate this Petition to 2023 or 2024 in the next Parliament. We have to solve it. We could break the Committee into sub-committees so that we have about three people dealing with an issue if we want to assist the people of Taita Taveta. This is quite unfortunate and I feel for them. In a short while, those people will require medical treatment, food and many other amenities. In such a case, it becomes very expensive to maintain communities that have been evicted. I support this Petition."
