    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I start by begging my brother, the Senator for Nyeri, Sen. Kagwe, not to be worried about an adhoc committee. I remember in 2012, there were land clashes in Nakuru County, specifically Banita Settlement Scheme. The Committee on Lands in Parliament was working on the case, however, Parliament then formed an ad hoc committee which I chaired. When we went on the ground, in spite of there being a Committee on Lands, we found that the then sitting Member of Parliament, the previous Member and their cohorts of supporters were the ones fueling the problem. We found that some of the members of the then Provincial Administration were also involved. When we went there and held meetings and barazas in pubic as an ad hoc Committee of Parliament, the Luos and the Kikuyus who were being chased away by whoever was chasing them, actually found peace and started living in harmony with them. From then, I have never heard of any land clash in Banita Settlement Scheme. I wish to beg Sen. Njoroge who comes from that county that the peace he saw there was taken there by an ad hoc committee. My second point is to beg our colleagues who are opposing to realize that, the reality is that there is a problem even if we want to bury it in whatever points they are raising. At the moment, there is abuse of the doctrine of separation of powers."
