    "content": "know for sure that people in Trans Nzoia were mostly affected by the clashes of 1992 and, of course, by the recent ones that happened in 2007. Some people are making money out of the clashes. The petitioner has not said exactly when they were evicted. Those ADC farms are very old. Some people come from as far as Uganda because our constituency borders Uganda. I am sure that some of these people are in it for business because they know that the Government is giving out money. When the Departmental Committee on Lands meets, we want them to invite the five Members of Parliament from Trans Nzoia so that we can look at this petition without wasting their time. Some of these people are just businessmen looking for ways of making money. As far as I am concerned, we have genuine squatters. Some of them are Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). In my constituency, there are about five areas which had clashes in 1992, where the late Hon. George Kapten bought five acres of land on which 58 families were housed from 1992 up to now. The families are now made up of about 2,000 members and are still living on a five-acre piece of land. If those were the petitioners, I would agree. But these others could be bogus businessmen looking for the money that the Government is giving out. This should be taken seriously so that the Committee can invite us to look at this matter and verify the genuineness of this petition. I disagree with that petition."
