    "content": "Hon. Speaker, indeed, I will be very brief. I want to take this opportunity to join my colleagues in sending my condolences on behalf of the great people of Balambala Constituency in Garissa County to the family and the constituents of our good departed brother, hon. Joseph Nyumu. I want to say that his loss is a great loss to this House and nation having had the opportunity to interact with hon. Jose for the little time we had here. I can say we have lost, not just a colleague, but a great legislator who represented the people of Gatundu South. I want to end by saying that looking at the petition which he has left behind, it strikes a challenge for us. This young man was trying to strike a balance between settling farmers on their deserved land while at the same time fighting for the plight of squatters who were living in that place. He was a man who had a great heart for the people of this country. He looked into the welfare of our squatters and gave our farmers an opportunity to take the land which they deserved. Not long ago, we saw on television a displaced family whose houses were demolished along the northern bypass. I looked at the face of a very elderly mama who was crying on screen and I said, as leaders we need to find a lasting solution to land issues in this country. Thank you."
