    "content": "Secondly, on the Petition by Hon. Sara Korere on the land that was alienated in Samburu, I would wish to indicate that much of the theories that states on land ownership is the first occupant theory. The theory suffices that those who settled first in a place become the owners of the land. The Samburu are just victims of the colonial land ordinance that began in 1902 and proceeded all the way to 1918. They lost their land but they are lucky. Hon. Sara’s people are lucky because their land was taken to the public. There are those who lost their land and it was privatised. It is a more difficult scenario where the land was privatised. So, some very serious public participation, like she indicated, must be undertake before the land is taken from the people because the people will continuously demand for their land because its theirs. They only lost it, courtesy of colonisation. The new colonial masters must know that at one point in time they will have to surrender the land that they took after the original owners lost it. This has really affected most of the pastoralists in the country."
