    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is true this matter is emotive because it was in the newspapers that the Chairman, Mr. Swazuri said he was ready to defend this up to The Hague that he did the right thing. From that point you cannot say that the buck stops at the Chair of the Commission. We want some specific recommendations so we can follow this person specifically. We do not want this generalisation and vagueness. This is what I am saying. They should have been specific and said Swazuri is implicated in this matter and he should step aside. Not the issue of telling us that we need to investigate the Commission and whoever. The moment you start blaming everyone it becomes difficult to implement this particular Report. I expected some specifics. On matters land in my own constituency Kiminini, we have Meso Farm. People have been displaced because someone has come with fake court orders. My people have been killed. I have complained to Swazuri many times. This time we want to see action from the National Land Commission. Otherwise, it should be disbanded like EACC and others because it is not providing a solution. Instead, it is providing more problems when it comes to matters land. We also have a land called Tawai Farm in Kiminini Constituency where people have died and they paid for that land. I did not know where the rich man got the fake court order from. The policemen are there and people are just fighting and have lost lives. Matters land is not something to joke around with. I am humbly requesting the Departmental Committee on Lands when it comes to such serious issues you should not bring us reports with a lot of generalization. We want specifics because people are dying. I want to thank you, but come to Trans Nzoia where my people are being killed every day because of matters land. I have raised the issue of Meso and Tawai land. We also have a problem in Chepchoina land. This is a delicate issue that you must come in and move with speed to provide solutions so that we can help this country, particularly in cosmopolitan areas. This is being done in a tribal manner, communities are coming together. You have bought land and somebody comes to evict you and destroy your house. I spoke to the Managing Director of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) about the issue of the Meso land and he told me that he was enjoining that court matter and there was no way poor people who live there would be evicted. Yesterday, I am told some people were killed because they were defending themselves and had nowhere to go. Please colleagues, we are here to provide oversight, legislate and represent. I am humbly requesting the Departmental Committee on Lands to pull up their socks and try to resolve these land issues as quickly as possible because people are dying. This is what I am requesting. I am also raising a complaint here and please start investigating the Tawai and Meso land in Kiminini. I have already brought these issues. I do not know what you are waiting for. I am going to bring another one because my people are dying. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
