    "content": "There are squatters who work in plantations and are living in very deplorable situations in Independent Kenya, in the Coast, Rift Valley, Central province and other parts of this country. For instance, there are some in Kibwezi, hon. Prof. Kaloki’s Constituency. I want to quote the Bible again. Colossians Chapter 4:1 says: “Masters you should grant your servants justice and fairness, knowing that you have a master in heaven”. The conditions under which many workers in plantations are living in, as squatters, in the fourth and fifth generation in 2009, is so deplorable. When we pass Bills to benefit various sectors, there are Kenyans who do not know what we mean and what we are doing because they are slaves. Those people are not only squatters but slaves. Their children are squatters just like their forefathers. Leaders, politicians and Members of Parliament need to focus on temptations. If you go to some water towers you get big names having been allocated land but they continue denying. We have been cited on corruption. Only yesterday it was highlighted on how we are abusing our ministerial positions in public appointments. We have benefitted because we are close to some people. When individuals in this House are targeted for interrogation by this House, we rise to defend them because they belong to our ethnic groups or we are their proxies."
