    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support the Petition by Hon. Wario. The Tana River Delta is one of the major wetlands of our region and yet, if you look at the plight of the people in that neighbourhood, they are not able to efficiently use that land. Many of them live in poverty because of land scarcity or access to land. If this particular land that had been gazetted is no longer being used for the purpose that it had been allocated, it is just right that we get it back so that it can be used by the community. Those are communities that are under pressure of resource limitations and scarcity of resources. As you know, scarcity of resources is a major source of conflict. This will be an opportunity for them to utilise that land and ease some of the tension and problems that exist in that particular part of our country. The other worrying element of this gazettement is that there are regular reports in our media that indicate that the land has been gobbled up and grabbed by individuals and parcelled out.
