    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I acquired it not through grabbing but I bought it. So, in that context, I just got land recently which means most of the people of Teso are landless and that is why they do not have title deeds. The hon. Minister must be aware that we have people pretending in the village there, that they have land whereas in actual sense they do not have any piece of land. If it is settling people, let there be a general policy to cater for the whole country because as we have known, we now have got professional squatters. These are people who move from one place to another pretending to be squatters so that they are given land and after they are given, they move to another area. The Minister should be able to identify the genuine land squatters so that every Kenyan benefits. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Minister said that he is in charge of international boundaries and he should listen to what I want to say very keenly because he is my neighbour at home. If he started moving from Funyula, Busia and then to Teso Malaba, I do not think he will be able to know where the boundary between Kenya and Uganda is. I do not think even the Kenyan Government knows where the beacons are, or what type of beacons there are along the boundary. I say this because you find that the Kenyan police keep on moving towards the Kenyan side as the Ugandans keep shifting the border and have the day to the extent that even what used to be no man's land has become totally land for Ugandans. They have even moved inside. So, I do not know how the Minister is going to sort out this problem about international boundaries and how he is going to assure us as people who live at the boundary between Kenya and a particular country whether Ethiopia or Uganda. So, I appeal that when the Minister modernises his surveys, he should also be able to educate the people along the border to know exactly where their boundaries are so that we avoid future conflicts. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
