"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am seeking clarification and he is very busy recording and I appreciate that. Why would it be difficult to say that Sen. Billow abandoned two acres of land in Burnt Forest while Sen. Haji abandoned one acre in Endebess? It is very easy. All you need to do is to take details from the affected persons. Who is occupying those parcels of land? If my house was burnt down, my land was not burnt. It is still there and remains a critical component in evaluating the resettlement of the IDPs. It is extremely unfair for a person who was living and farming on 50 acres of land in Elgeyo-Marakwet or Uasin Gishu to be then compensated with half-an-acre in Mai Mahiu for no mistake of his own. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to bring this to a closure. I thank you for directing that this matter should come up again on Tuesday. I know that the Senate Majority Leader has been taking notes and there are other issues that we will still need to raise. We should spare Tuesday next week to deal with this issue as you have directed. These are some of the clarifications I have and many more that I will come back with."
