    "content": "the community and the county government are involved. If the leases expire, they should not be renewed under any circumstances without the concurrence and knowledge of the local people. We have also recommended that the Director of Public Prosecutions investigate activities of Mwasima Mbua Welfare Society for fraudulent activities targeting the squatters and members of the public and, if found culpable, be subjected to due legal process within six months of the adoption of this report. This is the group that has been misleading people. They have been collecting money, brought tension by inciting the people against one another yet they are not even from there. One Member confronted one of the so called lawyer and chairman of that amorphous group, and it was clear they were dogs for hire – mercenaries who should not even be there because they will cause problems and should be investigated. They should be thrown out of that area and never be allowed to complicate issues that are already complicated. In a nutshell, the issue of land in Taita is not in that particular estate only. They targeted one estate, but there are many people who own thousands of land that they are not utilising and which was taken from the local people. The Committee ensured implementation of the decision of the Departmental Committee on Lands and it is an ongoing process that must be looked at and scrutinised closely so that it does not go wrong at this particular time. I beg to move and urge the House to adopt this Report. I request the Members to look at it and support the people of Taita Taveta. They deserve your support. It will teach Kenyans that Parliament is with them. We are with the weakest and the strongest but more so, with the people whose rights have been trampled on for centuries and people whose rights must be reinstated. I beg to move and request Hon. Godfrey Otsosi to second."
