    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to support this Petition by Hon. Chonga, the Member for Kilifi South. Issues of land are so emotive, especially in Kenya. When such petitions arise, we as a House are obliged to solve the problems faced by our people. I urge the Committee on Public Petitions and the Committee on Implementation to address these matters thoroughly. We often discuss significant issues that affect our constituents here. However, these issues are sometimes not taken seriously because we fail to monitor their implementation. Hon. Ken Chonga has raised this issue here severally. This does not only affect the people in Kilifi. Land is an issue affecting most people, especially those who feel like they are being molested by those in power. It is our duty as a House to help resolve these problems. I support this Petition and call on this House to ensure that the petitions presented are acted upon. We should help the people who have been crying to us. If we only talk without seeing implementation, we risk becoming a useless House. Therefore, I support this Petition and urge the Committee on Implementation to move with speed in implementing this."
