    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I specifically want to comment on the Statement that was sought by Sen. Chute, the Senator for Marsabit County. That Statement has come at the best time. From mid last year, there have been a lot of evictions, especially on Kitui Road. I am not saying this because it is named after my county. There have been evictions by KRC targeting the tenants who have stayed there, some of them for a very long time. It will be very important for the Committee that will be dealing with the Statement to establish the difference between the new tenants and the those who have been forcefully evicted from that land. I say this because I know of companies that have been established on that land for more than 10 years and had made serious investments, but they woke up to a morning that the KRC management invades the land, destroys property and cancels their leases. There must be a better way of terminating a contract, especially leases. It will be important to make sure that justice is served to everyone, including the old and new tenants as well. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Chute for bringing up that Statement because it touches on a number of people from very different places in this country. I thank you."
