    "content": "and, therefore, this matter concerns me a lot. Let me also thank Hon. King’ang’i, who has really taken this matter seriously from the word go, and for having brought it before this House. The right to property is enshrined in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. We know that in this country, property does not necessarily have a titled deed to it, especially when it comes to land. There are people who have lived on pieces of land for many years, but may not have a title deed because the Government has not accorded them that important document. Hon. Speaker, this is the case with the people of Makima who are majority residents of Mbeere South Constituency. Since I would hate it to end with lamentations, would the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, jointly with the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands, consider visiting the people of Makima and have a public consultation and participation with them to understand the extent of their problem? Two, could the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security undertake to push for compensation of the affected individuals who were evicted by this Government from their land and their property destroyed? Those people are living in absolute poverty because of that disruption. I end there. Thank you."
