    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, of a particular instance, I want to cite this for the record. We have a land question in Kibos, which is almost similar to this involving the Nubian Community that came to Kenya during Independence. The community has lived in Kisumu County since Independence. In 2021, it was evicted from the land parcel that they occupied and are now living as squatters in a place they have known as home since their birth. I will bring a similar Petition which mirrors the one we have today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the land question in this country must be taken seriously. Land is not only an emotive issue, but also at the very center of life. It is important that the agencies that deal with land to take community problems and community complaints seriously. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I pray that this Petition be committed to the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources, chaired by my friend Sen. Methu and ensure that it is treated with the seriousness it deserves. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have another problem with a parcel of land neighbouring the airport in Kisumu County. The community has the question of ownership and they have kept complaining over who--- Time is up."
