    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What is happening in Laikipia is a little bit disgraceful because those communities are fighting over one of the most important factors of production, which is land. Therefore, there is need to address the problem with utmost speed to ensure that it is resolved and peace is restored in Laikipia. The Laikipia situation is not the only one. I will mention what Hon. Rahim Dawood has talked about regarding the disputes between Tharaka Nithi and Meru, especially my constituency Tharaka, where land has been occupied by my constituents from time immemorial, as well as residents from Meru and Hon. Dawood’s constituency who hold titles whose origin and manner of issue are unknown. In fact, we call them “air titles”, namely, titles from the air. It is important that the National Land Commission investigates those cases of historical injustices because that is what they are. There is absolutely no record of where those titles came from and yet, they have their owners who occupy the land. That is a historical injustice that needs to be looked into."
