    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will use those two minutes. First, I thank the hon. Senator from Isiolo County for bringing up this Petition. The question is why do we need so many military bases in a place like Isiolo? Are the people of Isiolo so dangerous that they must be covered by 10 military camps? These military camps will obviously need a place to go. So, they land on helpless poor people and take away their land. 40,000 herdsmen and women who keep the land for their animals to graze on are the ones whose lands will be taken away. In fact, 90 per cent of the people who live in Ngare Mara are from Turkana. Last year, there was another fight to evict the people of Turkana from some land in Isiolo. At that time, several people from Turkana lost their lives because they resisted eviction. They argued that they lived on the land and also use it to graze their animals. Again, something similar has come around. The army wants pieces of land which are occupied by the people of Turkana and they want to evict them. 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."
