    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, these people were evicted from their land which they were allocated by the Government in 2002. These people have been living under very difficult circumstances; most of them are in an IDP camp and they are referred to as forest evictees. These people have suffered a lot from 2002 up to today. After discussing with hon. Cheptumo, we agreed that he be incorporated so that he can give us a legal opinion, because this land was legally given to those people who paid the Government the required amount of money. The title deed has even not changed to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. There is only alleged degazettement. The same was also looked at by hon. Gonzi Rai and his team when he was an Assistant Minister. I think this is a weighty matter that the Departmental Committee on Lands should look into with immediate effect; the suffering these people are undergoing is too much. This is because their children are unable to go to school, they have no food and clothing and they live at a camp called Teldet which is next to their farm."
