    "content": "There is a cartel of greedy people in this country who think you must own all the land in this world for you to be something. I can assure you that people will go to court, argue their case the way the Mau Mau argued, and we shall get what is ours. For any leader to say that we should not talk about this or that, how can we keep quiet when our people are destroyed like wild animals? We cannot keep quiet. One thing I would like to tell the Kenyan Government is that when you kill livestock in Laikipia, there are people in Narok who belong to you. What do you think the Maasais and the Turkanas will do to them? You must know that this has a ripple effect. It will affect so many people all over the country. You are not safe. If you destroy my livelihood, you are destroying the fees for my children and the security for my health. You are destroying me psychologically. What is the effect of that? I will go mad. What does a mad man do? He does things that he did not intend to do. Let us not politicise this matter. Let us not say the Maasais are not supporting us. Let us come together as leaders, establish a committee, look at the way forward and decide as a country. We are too divided and we cannot deny that however much we want to. The issue of land leases must be addressed. And ownership and historical injustices must be addressed and that report must be brought to this House. Why is it hidden like there is something so explosive that it should not come to the light? As leaders, let us come together, and resolve this issue once and for all. Let us not stereotype and say that the Samburus are like that and that. It cannot happen because we belong to this country. Nobody can take us away from this country. Nobody can do that."
