    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Even as I contribute on this Petition by Hon. Lessonet, I wanted to draw your attention to our Standing Orders on the issue of the length of time with regard to processing petitions. Today, I read in the newspapers about a gentleman who stole uniform that belongs to swimmers and other equipment belonging to the Kenya Swimming Federation (KSF). Hon. Deputy Speaker, six month ago, I brought a Petition in this House that was castigating the behavior of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KSF. To date, the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has never even attempted to call him to appear before it let alone bringing up the issue or updating it on the website. It means that the Petition could have got lost. I only hope that the man did not have influence with regard to that Petition. I want to support the Petition by Hon. Lessonet. The issue of land and squatters in this country is very rampant. Even as we churn out so many title deeds, we must look at the relevant laws that allow people who have been on that land for over 10 years to own it. That way, we will solve the problems about land once and for all. We have so many squatters and yet the rich enjoy having big chunks of land. We are not living in peace as a country because of those small differences that are land-related. With those few remarks, I support. However, I ask you to give a ruling on the Petition."
