    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity also to add my voice to this very important issue, which affects Kenyans. I sympathize with the way we are conducting this issue here. Most of the Members do not understand the suffering that the people of Lamu are going through. This is not only in Lamu. But most Kenyans, especially from where I come from, people are seriously suffering. The poor are denied their right of having a piece of land. This is a God given House and the Members are appointed to represent the voices of the voiceless. The Members should be serious and seriously discuss the things that will relieve the sufferings of Kenyans. I want to start by thanking the Chairman of the Lands Committee. Sometimes back, I had started developing a negative attitude towards him but today, I have forgiven him. He has done his best. There was a time when I raised a problem here and instead of the problem being solved, more problems were created. I am seeing that he is now coming up and soon, he will solve that issue. I agree that, sometimes, God can give answers through hard ways. If we start with the history of Kenya when we were fighting for Independence, many Kenyans who wanted their country to be free suffered a lot. Blood was shed and many people lost their lives. The poor were coming up but the problem is that the mighty persons who are grabbers are so guarded that the poor cannot reach them. In fact, if it was possible for people to march and get the 22 persons who took those plots in Lamu, we could not be having those problems here. Those people are guarded right from the State House all the way to where they are. Something has to take The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
