    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to comment on the third Petition by Hon. Sara Korere. It is very important to note that if there is any community in this country that is suffering from historical injustices, it is the Samburu community. I border Laikipia North Constituency where the Petitioners are from. Kirimon is also in Samburu West Constituency. It is unfortunate that since colonial times, Samburus have continued to be displaced. What is happening in Laikipia is very unfortunate. There are huge tracts of land owned by ranchers, which are fenced. When their leases expire, our current Government, which we thought would give us back our land, continues with the same atrocities meted out at pastoralists. It is very unfortunate to see members of the Government, especially the security apparatus, going and making blanket announcements saying that a certain community or the pastoralists should not be in a certain area, ignoring the fact that there are members of the pastoralist community, like the Samburu, who legally live in Laikipia County.
