    "content": " I would like to join my colleagues in supporting this Petition. The people of Ontulili neighbour my constituency, and I want to confirm to this House that these people are living miserably. Some of them are in a village called Kangaita and across Likii Village in Nanyuki Town. Hon. Speaker, the squatters we are talking about extend all the way from Ontulili to Kiambogo up to Nyahururu. Ontulili and Kathioro squatters were removed and pushed out of the forest without the Government recognising that they had been settled there by the colonial Government. They have taken care of those forests for many years, but they were just thrown out without any compensation. Unfortunately, even those from Ontulili who had been given land were denied that opportunity to occupy the land. They have lived miserable lives and suffered over the years. From Kibaki’s Government, Uhuru’s and now this Government, these people have been crying for their rights. It is high time that other petitions are also heard. We have a petition for those people who live in Kwa Mburi Village just near Ontulili, and others The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
