    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I want to congratulate Sen. Mwaruma for this Petition and the petitioners from Mwatate. Land is an important factor of production. When you have land, you can develop it hence create employment for the youths. That land can even attract tourists and tourism is a big venture that adds to the economy of the said land hence the locals can benefit from that. Sen. Mwaruma has done something commendable by advising his people to bring a Petition for it to be heard in the Senate. These people did not go to the streets; neither did they fight each other. Issues of land make brothers fight and even kill each other. The sober advice of Sen. Mwaruma has made the residents of Mwatate to bring this issue to this House for it to objectively help the residents of the area. It is a constitutional requirement that people‘s properties be protected. As a Senate, we are mandated to protect the counties. Mwatate residents are waiting to see what the Senate is going to do about this issue. The issue of public land being grabbed is not just affecting Mwatate residents but it is an issue of national concern. Land that is meant for public utility is being grabbed in many other places. There is need for people to respect community land. If this land was reserved for purposes of grazing, it is important that the land be preserved for the animals so as to avoid a scenario where the animals attack the residents because of climate change. Animals attack residents because they are looking for food. There is need for the Senate to act with speed so as to ensure that this issue is sorted out. We need to ensure that justice prevails and that the original owners are given back their land. There is need to investigate how the act begun. Who in the office of lands was involved in this act to the extent that title deeds were given? If the title deeds were given, are they fake title deeds or are they genuine title deeds? If they are fake title deeds, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
