    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Laikipia for this important Statement. We must be sensitive to what is happening to the people in Laikipia. We need to protect their lives and those of their livestock. This conflict is a result of land issues. That is why people are having insecurity issues. This is not only happening in Lakipia. In Machakos County, there is an issue with the Portland people who had leased land. After leasing it, they took a loan and now the title deed of the land has been given to a bank, which now wants to sell it. The indigenous people have nowhere to go and are facing the same issues as the people in Laikipia. This issue of Laikipia and any other area in the country must be solved once and for all. The Government must see what they must do. How can people live in fear in their own country and have sleepless nights, not knowing what time bandits will come to chase them out of their houses? I congratulate the Senator. Therefore, the Committee concerned, the Senate as a whole and the Government of Kenya, must take action and resolve all these land issues once and for all, for example, in Portland, in Machakos, Turkana and Laikipia. I support."
