    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I happen to serve in the Committee of Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. It is shocking that we have many Petitions touching on resettlement of people who are evicted from either forests, slums or who occupy plots that are not theirs. Today in the Committee, we heard a harrowing story of a woman who spent seven years in the forest fighting for independence of this country. Last week, she was kicked out of her only plot in Gilgil by members of the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU). This phenomenon and the recurrence of evictions which come to this Committee points to only one thing; that we need a policy to specifically look at the landless people and settle them. I sympathize with the people of Marmanet and hope that when the Petition comes to our Committee, we will look at it and find out what this House will do for them."
