    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, every Kenyan has a right to live anywhere in the Republic of Kenya, and I will stand by that. I wish Kenyans could elect me as the President of this Republic. We will streamline certain areas. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that at Independence, the land which was taken away from certain communities by the Mzungu was never given back to the rightful owners. I gave an example of Laikipia and a certain part of Rift Valley. I do not know why the hon. Member cannot wait until I finish. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other problem of historical injustices involves a big issue which the Kenyatta and Moi regimes continued to overlook. I said that the principle of land is security of land rights, and it is in the Constitution. Article 67(e) says that when the National Land Commission is put in place, it must address historical land injustices. One of the historical land injustices is the boundary between Kajiado District and Machakos District, which is the railway line. Part of the Kajiado land has been “eaten.” It has been negotiated by the Government and given to certain individuals. You take land that belongs to a particular community, so that a certain Minister can get a flag. Can you imagine this? So, we want the Minister to correct that. At Independence, the boundary between Kajiado District and Machakos District was the railway line. How come then that the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), East African Portland Cement and Export Processing Zone (EPZ) are now in Machakos District? These are the historical injustices which should be addressed."
