    "content": "Land issues in this country date back to the colonial period when the European settlers displaced thousands of Kenyans from the white highlands. Nandi County was one of the seriously affected areas. We also have Kericho and other parts of this country. To delve into the issue before this Committee is to really look at the issues bedeviling Kenyans every time a petition is raised. If you look at the issue of the Ngerek - Chepkumia Petition that was brought before this House, the Government took land and converted it into a forest, and up to date the people have not been compensated. We have former highland areas which were European Settler areas like Chemelil and other parts of Nandi County. Right now, the locals are settling there without title deeds."
