    "content": "I have been a victim of what the Hon. Member who has spoken has mentioned. I am still going through the same issue. If this Bill was in force, it would have made it easy for me to solve that problem. We have many people in my rural area who are poor and with few properties. When they pass on unscrupulous people in society or even some institutions scramble for their land. When we will have a Public Trustee in place, it means that even the small people in the villages are protected and their transactions can go on smoothly. Many citizens have fallen victims to very rich people. Many citizens with land, money in the bank or small businesses and are registered with Public Trustee, immediately something like this happens, there is a place where they can go and have their cases handled properly. We cannot sit back and not pass this Bill. I personally thank the drafters, the proposers and my very good friend from Tharaka who seconded. I had to be very keen on what he is saying. We totally agree this is one Bill that is going to cater for the interests of our people at the constituency. Personally, I am sure my constituents are going to benefit from this because I came here in order to protect the interests of everybody calling himself Member of Buuri community. I beg to support this and say that Jubilee Government fears us and recognises God as the sovereign giver of life. No matter what the hon. Member from the Opposition says, we at Jubilee are also sensitive of people who have died. We need to ask ourselves why these people died, who caused their death and how the kid in the balcony was killed without any police officer on site. There are so many questions that remain unanswered by those who are handling demonstrations. Giving opportunities for gangs to do what they have done and then we come to Parliament and say we are faithful is not right. The Jubilee Government respects the life of everybody and it will never give any opportunity for anybody to die. Our opponents have more explanations to give as to what and why a small boy at the balcony was shot by people who are not police. Let us be sensitive to all of us. Thank you. I support this Bill."
