    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support this Petition by Sen. Dullo. I empathise with the residents of Isiolo County because they are helpless although they have community land. It is a pity that the military is not ready to cede some land to them. It is the responsibility of the Government to protect its citizens. It is unfortunate the Government seems not to be protecting residents of Isiolo County and it is using its agencies to alienate land from them. I urge the Government to make sure that some land occupied by military reverts to the local people. We, as a leaders, have a duty to protect the common mwananchi . If we do not do so, who will protect him? We must speak candidly about the issues happening on the ground without fear or favour. I know of a Kenya Gazette notice that was issued in 1977 which gave the military big chunk of land in Isiolo County. The military is supposed to protect the residents. It is unfortunate that it is even threatening to shoot people of Isiolo if they continue demanding for their land. These threats must stop forthwith. 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."
