    "content": "deeds were obtained only in 2012 and yet people have been living there since 1978 when the dam was constructed. I do not understand why out of 60,000 acres, it is difficult to settle around 300 families to the extent that the Government resorts to violence. I would like to condemn the brutal violence that the Government has resorted to. There was no need for violence. People were scattered all over the place without shelter. As a matter of fact, there is a young couple that lost a child in the night after they had been evicted by the Government. The Government owes the people of Makima an apology. The Government owes the people of Makima retribution—payment for the houses that were demolished. The Government must provide the people of Makima with alternative land so that they can move out of the land they claim. We have a case where the Government abdicates its responsibility, so that the people have to defend themselves against their own Government. There is negligence on the part of public servants and public institutions. This is an area where, before I was elected, half the constituency had no titles. As we speak now, Karaba adjudication section has no title; Riakanawa adjudication has no titles; Makima adjudication section has no titles; Wasavaria adjudication section has no titles; and yet the adjudication was completed 40 years ago. What is the Government doing sitting around there, and yet titles are in the Nairobi offices, but cannot be issued to the owners?"
