    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to start by commenting on the Petition by the residents of Yatta on the issue of squatters who were settled in that area, but up to now, are complaining of people who have been sent there to encroach on the land. This is something that is happening countrywide, more so in Endebess and specifically in Chepchoina Settlement Scheme, where people have settled for the last 20 years, but the Government displaced some of them. We want to caution the Government. We want the Ministry of Lands to handle all these issues in a humane way and make sure that innocent Kenyans and those who have already settled there are protected. Every Kenyan has a right. We should not use political hoodwinks and positions to try and give rewards to some people in the hope that they will give us votes. All the people on those lands must be protected. On the issue of mechanisation of tea picking in Kericho, it is good to allow technology, but also, we must protect the workers so that they are not rendered redundant. I support."
