    "content": "is there and as we stand now with this Bill, I think we shall be able to get redress for these people who are affected. The second issue is about giving notice and like some Members have said, in this country we have a terrible disease. As a medical doctor, some people have called this disease many names. We have a terrible disease that started in the early years of Independence. The disease got worse during the time of the Nyayo era. We thought we were getting somewhere to curing this disease but it seems to be recurring especially with an individual in this country. People have called this disease many names but Dr. Kibunguchy will call it land grabiosis . Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we sit now, there are swirling rumours in my area that this prince who is suffering from this disease is planning and plotting to take over--- This disease is manifested in many ways. One of the ways is when you see idle land. If you are afflicted by this disease, then you tend to get mental seizures like somebody suffering from epilepsy, with all due respect to people who suffer from epilepsy. There is a rumour that is swirling around that the Lugari/Likuyani Forest has already been grabbed. Let me put it on record; if this were to happen, then it is likely to precipitate war in that area of the country because we cannot allow it. We shall never allow it. As a Member of Parliament for the area, I shall never allow that to happen. This is just to put this prince who suffers from this disease on notice that he should never think of doing something like that. Otherwise, I do not want to repeat most of the things hon. Members have touched. There is the area of public participation which is very important. There is also the area of information so that everything is transparent. Those areas have been touched. This is a progressive Bill. I will support it and towards the end we will bring in a few amendments just to make what is good better. Thank you."
