    "content": "In my county of Nyandarua there is a group of IDPs in Ol Jororok. Everything has been tried; Chairman Swazuri has been spoken to; the land is there and the IDPs are there. The Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development has said it is only subdivision that remains for more than 10 years now for these IDPs to be resettled. Sometimes it beats logic and you wonder what the mechanical or scientific method of dividing land to settle the squatters is. In essence, there are some cartels in the Ministry which just make the work difficult and impossible. The best term I can use for these people is that they are not patriotic. A patriotic person cannot make life very difficult for fellow Kenyans. Any land that is acquired illegally, and it is clearly shown that it is acquired illegally, needs to be returned or the necessary action taken. I have seen one recommendation which says “Investigate Dr. Mohammed Swazuri, Mr. Cyrus and others”, but by my understanding of this statement, it could have been better if it was written: “Investigate Dr. Mohammed Swazuri and the company and prosecute.” Investigations have become more or less similar terms in Kenya. We investigate and the stories continue. We have to conclude the matters of land. This is a very good Report for Kenyans because every day, Kenyans in different corners, in barazas and funerals say the Jubilee Government is not sorting out the issues of land injustice in Mombasa and yet some of the people given the mandate come from the same community, and for us to differentiate if it is really the Jubilee Government or some cartels manipulate what Kenyans expect is necessary. With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support and ask other Members to support this Report."
