    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to comment on both petitions. On the first Petition, this country has a number of settlement schemes that are yet to be concluded in terms of titling and this is causing anxiety amongst the people who were originally allocated the parcels of land. Some people are encroaching on the land while others are buying land in some of the settlement schemes. This is likely to cause a lot of conflict in the future. I have in mind similar a problem in Mwea Settlement Scheme, which, to-date, has not been resolved. I urge the Committee, which has a number of petitions on the same, to move with speed and advise the Ministry on how to go about that settlement scheme and other schemes in this country. On the other Petition, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I would not want to comment much on it, but I would like to assure the Petitioner that the Committee will make every effort to address the number of issues raised, including the health issues, malpractices by the multinational corporations and the application of highly mechanised equipment in the tea industry. We went though it in the rice industry and to-date, we are settled. I am sure the tea industry will also settle on the same. I promise that we will move with speed so that the anxiety amongst workers in the tea industry in Kericho is addressed and settled as quickly as possible. Thank you."
