    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the one million acres scheme was supposed to be administered through the Settlement Fund Trustee, but this did not happen. It is only the people who were associated with the colonial chiefs and the masters who ended up benefiting. I would like to declare interest under Standing Order No.81 by saying that I am also a son of a squatter. There is nothing more painful that you can experience than being a son of a squatter. Hon. Members, you better listen to this. We are remnants of the squatters to an extent that even if you had a PhD or own all the streets of Nairobi, you will still be regarded by some quarters as a son of a squatter. That is why you will never get a Cabinet Minister coming from the greater Nakuru District. These are like outcasts. We must clear this mentality, especially when we have our own university like Egerton and very able people. One of the Assistant Ministers actually loaned money to the Government from the organization he worked for, but since he comes from this region, he is seen as a heckler. These people are seen as the lowest ina caste system. The squatter is the lowest in the caste system to which we belong. I am a son of a squatter and I am proud to be one. We have been whipped and kicked from the other part, which I cannot name, for a long time. It is high time we told this Government that these squatters give you votes to an excess of two million every year. Now, the same votes will only be available to people who know that squatters are also human beings and need to be settled."
