    "content": "When the land came to be distributed after Independence, the British Government paid billions of shillings in what they call the Trust Land Settlement Fund. This was supposed to settle people on their original land when the British settlers were moving out. However, it was never so! Most people who were settled never owned the land before. Those who owned the land, whether in the Coast or Maasailand or anywhere else, were left out. These are some of the grievances that will never be forgotten by this community. This is because we think the Trust Land Settlement Fund should have been handled very carefully and fairly. However, it was not. It was unfairly distributed and it was given to other people. If you look at the political map of Kenya today, especially the central rift, if you look at the names, then you would definitely know to whom that land belonged before the white men came to this country. All the way down from Athi River, Nairobi, Nakuru, Molo and Naivasha belonged to the Maasai Community. At least, we should have got an inch back! We have not got an inch back."
