    "content": "we also used to get money from pyrethrum. Today, the area that used to grow pyrethrum now lies fallow. I do not know why the Government should keep on appointing board members and directors and yet, they are not going out to the field or farms to confirm what is being produced, and which they are going to manage. This amendment should ensure that pyrethrum is grown and protected so that it can earn income to our people. I am not talking about pyrethrum alone. There are many other crops which can bring money to this country. But, somehow, the Government has neglected them. It has not taken them seriously. There is the issue of miraa which has been banned all over the world and now, the people in my place are suffering. The Government should protect any crop that is bringing some income to the people. I am looking at this aspect not only for the people who were displaced during the skirmishes we had after the 2007 elections, but there are people who are living with hostile neighbours who are displacing them. All the time, families are being displaced from one place to another and others are rendered homeless. Their farms are taken by force. This amendment will bring in sanity. The National Lands Commission (NLC) should identify boundaries. The residents will know their land when proper adjudication is done. The adjudication areas should be well spelt out so that once an area has been declared for adjudication, it should be demarcated for the residents and people who live there. That way, we will not get people who are perennial squatters. Every time, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
