"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to join my colleagues in supporting this Petition. The displacements that occurred along the railway lines have never been resolved. I requested a Statement in the 12th Parliament about people who were displaced in Gilgil-Kambi Somali. They were paying rates and rent to the Government and were displaced without a clear way of compensation. These areas in Gilgil had some old buildings built by Kenya Railways. Right now, they have been leased out as hotels and the rightful owners have not been compensated. They lost buildings, businesses and homes. What we saw that time was inhuman. They should not get away with compensation which they have been quiet about. I hope the committee that will deal with this Petition will look holistically at these issues and ensure they get a lasting solution so that this does not happen again. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support."
