    "content": "Independence largely on the basis of land that had been occupied by our former colonial masters. It is, therefore, imperative that the Committee embarks on considering this Petition as it does to the others that have been sent to them. However, on this particular one that touches on land, I urge the Public Petitions Committee to take it with the urgency that it deserves because land is a very emotive issue not just to the people of Coast region, but also to people in other parts of the country. Hon. Speaker, when we were campaigning, we promised the people of Kilifi County and the greater coastal region that the issue of absentee landlords must and should be addressed by this administration and, therefore, it is imperative that the Committee considers in view of what the Kenya Kwanza Administration promised, that they will no longer be squatters on their own ancestral land, and that the said land should go back to its rightful owners who are the people of Kilifi County and Mount Kenya region. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I beg to support."
