    "content": " Hon. Speaker, the Constitution of this country allows anybody to buy land anywhere within the jurisdiction of this country. History has recorded how the people of Kuria acquired that land. It is in the records of the Government. This is not a matter of Migori County, Trans Mara or Rift Valley County. This is a matter of our people owning land in another part of this country. Whether that part is in Rift Valley or not, nowhere does the Constitution say that the people of Kuria can only be in Migori. If there is such, I need to be shown. The people of Kuria have a right to reside in the Rift Valley just as other communities have a right to reside in Rift Valley, Nyanza and other regions. The Chair knows that. There are people of Kuria who reside on their own farms. He knows that the people of Mashangwa are Kuria people who live in the Rift Valley. So, he cannot turn around now and say that the Kuria people can only be found in Migori. In Tanzania, we are found everywhere. We are in the Rift Valley and the Mara. We are not going to be subjected to that kind of warmongering, which started in 1989. We all know who the leaders were at that time, when the people of Kuria were flushed from their land in an area called Muyui. That is a fact that is recorded very well. It was properly prosecuted. If this House was to set up a tribunal to look into it, you would be surprised who would be left with an egg on their face on this matter."
