    "content": "I do not understand why up to now people who willingly accepted to participate and collaborate with the Government in conservation of the waters of this country are still on holding grounds. They are not even in any camp like the post election violence IDPs. They are on holding grounds as though we are still under a colonial regime. People in Kipkurer and Mau Forests have not been resettled. I hope that the Minister of State for Special Programmes would live to her words. She has been promising us that this year would end--- Now we are in the final year and resettlement has not taken place. The Government has had to give Christmas to these people for the last three years. Now this is another planting season and they are still IDPs and more so those people who moved out of their ancestral land to pave way for conservation such as Ogiek, Ndorobos and Kimala have not planted anything. We are going to April, when the rains are here again and they have not planted. Talking of planting we have potato blights. I do not understand why we do not have certified seeds for farmers in this country. I hope that this season the Minister for Agriculture would be able to give certified potato seeds to the farmers especially those found in Kapyego of Marakwet East Constituency. They solely depend on potatoes and they lost everything because of the blight."
