    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Mover of the amendment as well as the Seconder have defended property rights robustly and I agree with them that whatever we do, we must respect the sanctity of the title. However, what is at stake is not just the sanctity of the title but the lives and liberties of the people who are supposed to move out of Mau Forest. Therefore, other than confine ourselves just to property rights, we should deal with the fundamental rights of the people who live there. This is because the whole of Chapter V of the Constitution guarantees a citizen fundamental rights to life, liberty, security, freedom of conscience and property rights. So, if we will deal with the people in Mau Forest, whom we are asking to leave, are we guaranteeing them security? The appropriate way to deal with this matter is not just to confine ourselves to Section 75 which deals with property rights."
