    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition by the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the British Colonialists committed many crimes against our communities in this country. Up to date, communities are still feeling the impact, the effect and trauma of losing so much in the hands of the British Colonialists. The Maasai community lost over one million acres to the British colonialists, Nairobi City County, Nakuru County, Naivasha and many other places included. Where we have the Delamere farms today was once our own land. Our communities need reparations from the British Colonialists. I believe that our country has come of age to have the British pay for what our communities lost. To date, the Maasais in Laikipia County still feel the effect of the losses of their ranches to the Colonialists. When you see some of these people who are occupying those lands, you wonder who their grandparents and generations in the past are. They have nothing to show for the lands that they occupy. Our communities were sent to the reserves where people are congested and pastoralism is threatened because of such loss of land. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support that all communities in Kenya must go back into history, so that justice prevails."
