    "content": "of trying to identify and address this issue as something very important. A lot was achieved because we were in a grand Coalition Government. We are missing a lot because the input that we had on our side of the Grand Coalition is not there anymore. This would have been very critical. It would have been important for the task force that was looking at historical injustices to continue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also happened to be part of another team that was working in Mariakani on digital mapping. We were identifying what area should be used for what. We were surprised about what happened after mobilising the community and telling them what our work was. We were trying to demarcate the areas as residential, commercial, industrial and cemeteries for burying the dead, areas for establishment of schools and so on. We went round doing that. We were supposed to have an aeroplane that was to pass over Mariakani to do the general mapping. We informed members of the communities there about that exercise. You would not believe what happened. The moment the beacons were put, they were removed the following day. People in Mariakani told us: “We have been touched by land issues. We have been bitten by a snake called land issues and we are going to be alert.” We had to tell them what exactly we were doing because, obviously, they thought that somebody wanted to grab their land overnight. Therefore, matters of land grabbing are real. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
