    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, the land on which these minerals are was illegally and unlawfully appropriated at Independence. These people are walking away smiling by selling and getting illegal compensations; something they never owned in the first place. We have the TJRC Report and the Ndung’u Report and if the Jubilee Coalition Government wants Kenyans to believe that they are interested in dealing with the issue of land, we do not need these populist stunts that are taking us nowhere. If you want to solve the problems of Lamu, start with Mpeketoni. Who were the original owners? In Taita Taveta, how can two families own 70 per cent of a county? If you go to Kwale, Kilifi and Mombasa counties, they stole everything. The same applies to Nakuru County and everywhere else. If we want to right the wrongs of this country - then and only then - we must be honest with ourselves. We must be honest with the country. It is not enough to shout the name of James Orengo or Naomi Sidi while forgetting that the bigger thieves are in the closet. We shall open those closets and expose them because the facts are there. You can suppress or postpone but you can never kill facts; facts remain facts and nobody is going The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
