    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to add my voice on this very important Petition but allow me to first welcome the delegation from Kajiado County who are in the Public Gallery. I wish them well as they observe the proceedings of this House and learn the procedures from the respective departments that they are visiting. The issue of land is a very sensitive issue and I wish that the Committee takes the shortest time to address the issue raised by the Kipsigis community even as they look at other social historical injustices faced by other communities. We heard of the people of Isiolo whose land is being curved and given to different Government institutions. The same thing is happening in other regions in this country. People have been forced to give their ancestral land to certain Ministries or certain departments because the Government wants to do projects, yet those projects do not benefit those people. This Committee, through the Ministry, should take the shortest time possible to address this Petition, so as to give our people confidence in this Senate."
