    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I am guided. I just thought that because it is an adjournment Motion, I can reiterate the issues that I raised. To summarize, I beseech the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations to expeditiously move to summon the CS and even call the so-called land owners. There are people who own 100,000 acres. It is very sad. I am sorry that I am raising this issue over and over again, but it is something that I believe in. Our people have a right to graze their cows anywhere. It is not being an illegal herder; this is their land. Madam Temporary Speaker, the thing that pains me is that every time when we speak about issues that are important to us, there is always some vested interest in the sense that we are gagged and cannot be open and honest enough to talk about the issues that affect our people. I hope that the Executive is listening and that people will remember that our time on this earth is very limited. We are only passing through here. We only want to preserve this earth for future generations, not for us to take it anywhere. Finally, as I wind up, I wish all my colleagues a happy recess. I also take this opportunity to condole with my brother, Sen. M. Kajwang’ for the loss of his father. I pray that God will grant him and his family serenity to accept the things that they cannot change and also have the courage to move on because this is a painful time. Otherwise, I thank you."
