    "content": " The hon. Senator for Kirinyaga County, Sen. James Murango is requesting for information on how many people are landless, or people commonly known as squatters. I will start with that question. The classification of people as landless, commonly known as squatters is inaccurate because landless is different from squatters. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I took time to seek this so that I can have better clarity. According to the Oxford Learners Dictionary, the word ‘landless’ is an adjective that means ‘not owning land’. Therefore, in our context, a landless person is one who does not own land. In this country, those are the majority. For a person who does not own land, Land Act No. 6 of 2012 defines a squatter as a person who occupies land that legally belongs to another person or entity without that person’s consent and these two terms cannot be used interchangeably.
