    "content": "them as per what even the Minister of State for Special Programmes was just saying here, so that they can till the land and produce their own food. In fact, those people said that they feel very bitter that they have to be seen like they are beggars, yet they really want to work hard and be on their own, because they are prepared to supplement their own living through their own efforts by working on the farms, if availed to them. Some of them, in fact, had already started keeping some poultry and were thinking that if the Government gave them some support, they would try and introduce dairy farming, green houses and so on. Since they pulled together and were able to acquire that little farm on which they have put up their structures, they were wondering if the Ministry of Lands would assist them in getting title deeds for each of those little structures. Although the plots are small, they were really thinking that the Government would be fair - because they do not see themselves going anywhere else – and assist them to get title deeds. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we had a baraza with them. They had leaders who they had elected. There are households which have settled there. There were households called Emanuel, Nawamu and Kimondo which came from Eldoret, but have now settled in Mai Mahiu. As such, they are not able to receive the Government money and are still living in tents. The area also sometimes is prone to floods during the rainy season. So, normally when heavy rains come, they get floods. When they get floods, diseases such as Malaria become very common. That is why I said before that some of the children have even lost their lives there."
