    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to thank Hon. Mwenje for a very timely Motion. ‘Squatters’ sound like a Nairobi issue only, but it is an issue affecting the whole country. In my county, Laikipia, which is the Texas of Kenya, every person who finds money in this country rushes there to buy property. These people turn out to be absentee landlords who want to speculate land for more than 20 years. They allow squatters or people to occupy those pieces of land but never give them free occupation or allow them to progress on those pieces of land. These are Kenyans who can be very productive. However, with the uncertainty, they are not able to do much. I support this Motion because we need to discourage the culture of unattended land. In the County of Laikipia, absentee landlords have caused a lot of insecurity. When you leave a person who is not the owner of the land to occupy it and illegal grazers come on that land, you cannot justify why you are chasing them away because the land is also not yours.
