    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44 (2)(c), I hereby request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands concerning the settlement of squatters in the country, particularly in Trans Nzoia County. In the past, the Government settled squatters from outside Trans Nzoia County while ignoring the plight of the existing squatters in the county. The Chairperson should inquire into and report on the following:- (i) whether the Government has a database of all the squatters in the country and if so, how many are from Trans Nzoia County; (ii) why the Government, in its policy on resettlement of squatters, does not consider giving priority to squatters who originate in areas they marked for resettlement of squatters; (iii) when the Government plans to seek the approval of Parliament to replenish the Settlement Fund to facilitate the re-settlement of squatters; and, (iv) what plans the Government has to re-settle all squatters in the country, particularly those in Trans Nzoia county. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
