    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker Sir, the Chebyuk problem is not unique. It is not unique in the sense that we have witnessed such problems all over the Rift Valley Province. It is now spilling over to Mt. Elgon District, which is also a Kalenjin dominated area. The problem is actually historical. It is historical because in the past, most of our people were pushed out of their land to the periphery and made squatters. Later on after Independence, they had to get somewhere to live. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard that the Chebyuk problem started in 1965. That is when they were allocated some forest land. It was named Phase I. Later on, they were allocated more land. That was named Phase 11 and Phase 111. It is shocking to hear from the Minister that even the land that was allocated in 1965 is still gazetted as Government forest land. The problem starts when people occupying those parcels of land are left speculating. They do not know when that land will actually belong to them. That is bound to cause double allocation of the same land. That has happened and it has caused a lot of problems not only in Chebyuk, but in other areas in Rift Valley. It has happened in Likia and the Minister is aware of that. It has also happened in Ndoinet. In fact, as we are talking now, we are sitting on a time-bomb in Ndoinet where land was allocated---"
