    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this petition. Lamu is critical to the economy of the Republic of Kenya. This is where we intend to have the second port. Although this was a very ambitious plan, it should not be used to deny the original residents of Lamu their rightful ownership of land. This is one thing that even before the project picks, the Government should address the issue of Lamu squatters and ownership of land. Lamu originally was trust land under the County Council of Lamu. Under the new Constitution, the issue of land management is under a different constitutional dispensation. We do not want the people of Lamu in the name of modernization or mega projects to be displaced. That issue must be addressed. The Government must apply due diligence in law to ensure that the people of Lamu are protected from this land speculators."
