    "content": " Thank you very much Hon. Speaker for allowing me to joyride on the Statement as read by Hon. Rozaah Buyu. Hon Speaker, the situation is uglier than she is putting it. When the idea of coming up with the Kisumu Northern Corridor that joins the Airport Road to Mamboleo, Muhoroni and ultimately Londiani Junction was birthed in 2015, the owners of parcels of land along that corridor were forcefully evicted from their homes to create a pathway. It was done under the promise of compensation which has not happened to this very day, almost 10 years down the line. Some of the family members were plugged to relatives’ homes, overstretching budgetary allocations for individual families with the hope of getting compensation at the end of the day. They have been waiting for 10 years until the host families have got tired with the family members and relatives. Most of them do not have a place to stay because their abodes were demolished by the Government. Even as the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands undertakes to carry out a comprehensive investigation that will lead to compensation, we ask that it be expedited. Otherwise, we are losing lives as a result of frustrations and depression by these families. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
