    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Boni sometimes does not listen to English. He has listened to his own mind. I have given some of the factors that have caused this desperation within the people of Mombasa, as leading some of the young people to adopt some of those vices like the MRC. I do believe that it is simply an orchestration of the frustration of the people of Mombasa. I think that the Government has tried to be proactive even in addressing some of these pertinent issues. But I do believe that sooner than later, these issues must be redressed, and land, as I said, is at the heart of part of the discontentment of the people of Mombasa and the Coast in general. Therefore, it is about reviewing fundamentally the land ownership regime in the country, so that we can be equitable. Those who were dispossessed by previous Governments must ensure that these rights are restored equitably. Since Dr. Khalwale brought it up, I will address that issue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that the Government also needs to look for creative ways to ensure that they deal with the issues surrounding the desperation and despair of the young people of Mombasa. In particular, are issues to do with employment, inequalities, land and historical injustices. Therefore, as the Government seeks robust ways to address some of the issues, it is critical that the political leadership and the Senate is involved as an avenue to bringing equity to all counties and ensure that whatever historical injustices that were partaken against the people of Mombasa and Coast, in general, are redressed.
