    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. One of the things we should remember is that 10 million acres of land in this country was under the colonialists. Out of this land, only one million acres of land was taken from the colonialists. Half of the one million acres was allocated to the big fish. There are squatters in my constituency. The Ol Kalou Scheme falls within my constituency. I organise harambees to pay part of the settlement loan, which is now accruing interest. Those who do not belong there paid the loans quickly and sold off the pieces of land. The genuine persons who should have benefited never got the land. Those who managed to get it are still paying dearly. We must establish the Squatters Settlement Fund. We have the IDPs Settlement Fund, which is now being mismanaged. We should make sure that the Squatters Settlement Fund is also not mismanaged. The land policy must go hand in hand with the establishment of this Fund. We do not want unproductive pieces of land in this country, which will end up making us a poor nation where everybody has land. There is need to define landlessness properly. Idle land must be taxed. It is important that we identify squatters in this country."
