    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the opportunity that you have given me to comment on this emotive matter. It is an issue that we have been dealing with for over two decades. The biggest challenge that we have, which all of us must empathize, is on the rights of the Maasai people and the pastoralists. We, the Maasai people, do not understand what a title deed is. I have sat here and listened to my colleague, narrating about the rights of private property. That people should respect private property, yet we know that our land and territories have been encroached upon by successive Governments. Individuals own over 100,000 acres of land, yet we the people who are original inhibitors of that land, do not have such acreage of land. Our people were chased away. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we talk about life; your life is not more important than the life of a pastoralist. The pastoralists who are there and cows which are being killed also have a right."
