    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Petition from my brother from Manyatta. Land is very emotive and, sometimes, when the Government is trying to put structures in place to, at least, do development, people who have already settled on that land for a long time are affected. It is prudent before that decision is taken, whoever is being displaced should be given a chance or relocated first, before being pushed away and then you are told you will be compensated later. Those people are languishing as squatters whereas they have been evicted from their forefather’s land. So, the Government should move expediently and settle those people because the land is being used by the Government. On the employment of local people by the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), I do not know why we should get money from China and they bring their people to spend that money. We have enough manpower. It is different if we wanted technical people. But just because they have loaned us money they should not carry back that money to China. That money should be left here and our people should get employment. Thank you."
