    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Statement, first because I managed to go to the ground and I witnessed what was going on. I want to report here that it is a very sad situation, because poor people are suffering. Children are shivering in the cold, there is no food or shelter; and there are a lot of diseases which are now coming in. Therefore, it is important that we, as a leadership, look into this matter more seriously. What surprises me, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is that the Government, through the CS of Lands, visited this place and made a commitment that it will sort out this matter amicably. Paradoxically, the same Government, through the IG, sent police officers to supervise the evictions, and it is sad. We need to put the Government to task to explain to us what its position on this matter is. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with my leader and father in politics, Sen. Wetangula, on the many issues he has raised. However, I do not agree with him on one issue, where he has alluded that leaders are not supposed to go there physically; and that the matter can only be sorted out in Nairobi."
