    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to congratulate my colleague, Hon. Mwenje, for bringing it. The issue of land has been mishandled for a long time in this country. The first Government of this country is the one that mismanaged land at the outset. When the colonialists handed over the Government, the Independent Government was supposed to regularise land and resettle people who had been thrown out of their land by the settlers. Instead of doing that, they went on a grabbing spree. They grabbed land left, right and centre. Many communities were displaced. People lost their homes. They have been squatters permanently all over the country. We have the largest number of squatters in informal settlements in Nairobi. The Nubians in Kibra have lived there forever. Every Government that comes in promises to give them title deeds or ownership of that land, but it has never happened. It is about time we got serious to see how we can resettle Kenyans who are living on land that does not belong to them. You find that there are some people who speculate with some of that land. There are no known owners but there are people who collect rent from it. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
