    "content": "Land is a very sensitive issue that directly affects the socio-economic stability of any society. The issue of land in Nandi dates back to the colonial era. The issue of Kapkakaron land is one of the many land injustices that we have really experienced in Nandi. Of the 400 claims that came forward to the NLC, 10 per cent came from Nandi. We have many people who were displaced when the colonialists came in to cultivate tea, sugarcane and many other crops. The original landowners who lived in those lands were, therefore, displaced. Some of the said displacements did not only happen during the colonial era but also between 1970’s, 1980’s up to the late 2000’s. This is a very serious matter and I applaud Hon. Kitur for bringing it so that we can discuss it in full and also encourage NLC to look into it so that those people who were displaced can be given back their land. The multinationals need to sit down and figure out a way to compensate the original landowners. I, therefore, stand to support this petition by the Member."
