    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary, Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this amendment because I know it will be this House that will save the face of Kenya. There are so many historical injustices but we cannot work on them individually or the community it affects alone. This is a unifying House where all elected here, are for the interest of Kenyans, although we come from different communities. Our common interest is to put Kenya in unity, peace and love, so that we can progress. This is a reconciliation issue where we address injustices that happened during the colonial time and after independence. Up to now, we still have some issues as some Members have raised. The other day, you heard of the problem between the Pokot and Turkana, this is still on land. There is also a problem even in Trans Nzoia where the landless are many and some people are being brought from elsewhere to come and occupy land. In fact, to make those people suffer more. This is the place where we are now saying, if we support this it is going to help. I want to congratulate the Committee because it has come up with something good that will help Kenya. Some of us come from this area and sometimes back we used to occupy the whole of Trans Nzoia with other people, but we were moved by the colonial government and then after getting independence, instead of taking us back to our land some other Kenyans were brought to that place who claim to be more important than us, but we were not going to reflect. This is Kenya, we know how we can approach issues because already people are living there together and are related through intermarriage. So there is nothing we can say we have to reflect because that cannot help, ours is just to see as this House on how we can help. The report, although it has not yet come to a time when we can discuss it, I was wondering how my name also appeared in it because I was just a teacher, a unionist who The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
