    "content": " Just relax. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the least any sane Government would do is give such homeowners a reasonable notice. Not a notice to eventually evict them, but one to allow them to come to some agreement or settlement with whoever is laying claim on the land. That land that is being claimed by EAPC has a long history. We know that the Government is in a hurry to evict those people because they want to put EAPC for sale. They want it to be bought by those cartels. The cartels in Kenya Kwanza have lined up to buy it. Therefore, they want by the time they are buying it, it should be together with the land. The intention here is to clear this land off inhabitants. To clear this vast land of people who have settled on it so that by the time they grab EAPC, they can grab it together with the vast land. That is the issue. I have to tell you today, Kenya Kwanza, that what you have done will go down in history as the most cruel thing any Government can ever do to its citizens. You cannot treat Kenyans as wild animals. You cannot evict people when schools are about to start doing their exams. Grade Six, Class VIII, and Form IV candidates are supposed to start doing their national exams in a matter of weeks, if not days. You cannot evict such people. You cannot demolish churches, the houses of God, and yet you proclaim to be God-fearing people. What hypocrisy is this? You proclaim on one hand that you are God-fearing. Every Sunday, you go out there masquerading as Christians and yet, you evict people and demolish their churches. You also demolish their schools."
