    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition by Mr. Tema on the Laikipia issue. Article 67 creates the National Land Commission (NLC) which, among other things, as stated in 67(e), resolves matters either on its own initiation or complaints by members of the public on either current or past historical injustices. Article 68 talks of this House legislating on matters of land. I think we have run short of doing that. As the Committee looks at it, they also need to look at what recommendations, even in terms of legislation, that we can make to address some of those issues. This country is full of squatters. It is full of landless people who were displaced by the colonialists and the regimes that came after colonialism. You will find families with about 40,000 acres in Endebess and yet, their ancestral home is not in Endebess. What happens? In Trans Nzoia, we are talking of about 20,000 squatters. We are talking of about 40,000 displaced families. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
