    "content": "Whereas we were campaigning to settle squatters, unfortunately, we were making land a bigger tree to the people of Coast Province. That is because we were busy campaigning and people were busy pocketing titles. They were promising people to come and sell. I saw my good friend hon. Orengo saying he had cancelled titles. I want to congratulate him for cancelling those titles. That was very good. He who seeks equity must always come with very clean hands. You can never come with very dirty hands and say I did this. You will have cancelled three acres but allocated illegally 500,000 acres of land. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think this country deserves the truth. I sympathize greatly with the people of Coast Province because they were promised resettlement and I honestly believe they largely never voted for the Jubilee administration because they were told the Jubilee candidates are responsible for land problems. They voted hoping that the land will be given to them. Unfortunately, for five years, they received nothing. I was an ordinary member of that coalition but I thank myself because I left that coalition midway in 2010 because we cannot mislead the people of Kenya to give us votes. They gave us almost 100 per cent of the votes and yet, again, you go ahead to take away their land and give it to a few individuals."
