    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Kibwana on this inhumane act of vandalism. The residents of Mavoko Municipality were evicted from their homes yet we have a defined system that is supposed to be the due process of the law. When you get a title deed, it guarantees you ownership of property. You are given land. Historically, an allotment letter would guarantee you. In Narok, Kajiado and most counties, people will give you an allotment letter as proof that they have land. It now seems like we have different jurisdictions. The court comes out and comes up with a ruling that an allotment letter is not a valid title or proof that you own that piece of land. What is it then? It is about time we care about Kenyans. Mhe. William Ruto said that no one will ever be kicked out of their land. That they will negotiate with the land owners. Sen. Kibwana has made it very clear that the people of Machakos are Kenyans. If this land belongs to Government or the East African Portland Cement as they are saying, why could they not negotiate with them? Why are we applying selective amnesia?"
