    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition brought by my colleague Sen. Khaniri on behalf of these 42 Kenyans. It is not just these 42 people, there are thousands of Kenyans who have been made to be homeless because of greed. Before I came to support this Petition, I was looking at the amount of land that the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) has. During the time of President Moi - and the Senate Majority Leader will bear me witness - a few very powerful individuals took advantage of this ADC and allocated themselves land. If you go to Laikipia, the other day we were told that the current Deputy President has a lot of land which belongs to ADC. If you go to Njabini, you will find former Government officials owning thousands of acres of land; one person owning over 10,000 acres. I am sure Kulei has a big chunk of land in ADC of about 3,000 acres. There is also another 10,000 acres. Anyone who was anybody during the Moi era allocated themselves thousands of acres of land. Some of them are still around while some of them have gone. I hope that the Committee which will look at this Petition will spend some time to evaluate this issue of squatters. I agree with my colleague Sen. Wambua that is ludicrous for anyone to say that they belong to this country called Kenya and yet they are a squatter. It does not even make any sense. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the land the squatters---"
