    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute on squatters. I support squatters in Meru County. The issue of squatters has been very difficult in this country. Personally, I speak as one of them having been brought up in the Village Market with a group of people who later went to Githurai. If you look at the squatters of today, you will find that they were evicted from coffee farms. If you look at Kiambu County, you will see that it is cosmopolitan. We have different tribes who are squatters. We have the Luo, Luhya and others who are squatters there. I would like the Government to look into the matter of squatters. We thank the Deputy President because I have seen him handling squatters’ matter especially during this time of the El Nino . We thank him sincerely because of visiting squatters and trying to remove them from where they are. I have seen cases even in Gatundu North - the Member of Parliament is here with me - where we had very many squatters living in the forest. I support that petition and ask the Government to not only think about Meru but to go round the country and help them. It is not right for Kenya to have squatters very many years after Independence."
