    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to lend my voice to this very important Petition. I rise to support this Petition by Hon. Baya. This is land that I am familiar with and Hon. Baya knows that I can easily be elected as a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) in that particular area. Since 1950s, I have known that these families have been in occupation of the land. The original owners have since left and in accordance to the law, surely, this land can be transferred to them on account of adverse possession because they have been in occupation with no resistance or claims against them since time immemorial, as far as many people can accept. This is in line with one of the State of the Nation Address made by the former President, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta, in 2015 when he apologised on behalf of the Republic of Kenya in relation to historical injustices. Following that, I again presented a Bill, the Kenya Reparations Bill, 2019, in the last Parliament, in an attempt to try and resolve some of these historical land injustices such as this one. For those reasons, I fully support the Petition by Hon. Baya, on behalf of the people of Mnarani in Kilifi North. Thank you."
