    "content": "Most obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The petitioners would like the Government, which has been victimising this volunteer group when they have been trying to access the victims, to allow them free access to all corners of the country so that they can connect with their colleagues in the suffering. Thirdly, the Government of Kenya should address the plight of these victims and their dependants by creating a soft landing for them to access education, medical facilities and other necessities. They are petitioning that the Government of Kenya should temporarily suspend any efforts to auction properties of these victims on account of loans incurred in the course of investing in those schemes. Finally, the victims note with concern, that a task force promised to be formed by the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing has taken too long and no consultations have been made. The victims, therefore, demand that this task force be formed with immediate effect. The prayer of these petitioners is as follows: That this House notes the contents of the petition and that the House calls upon the Government to take urgent remedial action, so as to address the plight of the petitioners and other Kenyans who lost their money in the pyramid schemes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I, in conclusion, inform the House that at the appropriate moment, I will in accordance with Standing Order No.166, give notice of the Motion that this petition be printed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
