    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): I can see that the level of interest is high, but we do not have the time for more comments. I agree with those who have spoken, that this is an important matter touching on the livelihoods and lives of Kenyan citizens; families that are homeless, who have been evicted and do not seem to have a future. I will, therefore, direct two committees to be seized of this matter, and with a deadline of 10 days from today to bring a report. We will have the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights because this is about evictions and human rights; and the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, because the Ministry of Lands was seized of this matter and made some positive pronouncements. As the two committees deal with this matter, they should bring us a joint report with concrete recommendations, because you have heard the sentiments of the Senators. I urge Sen. Malalah, Sen. Wetangula, and Sen. Khaniri, who come from that region, to join in as friends of the Committees so that we have a wholesome recommendation of this matter. The two Committees should endeavour to speak to the CS for Lands, the Attorney-General who is the custodian of human rights and legal processes, and also the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, because the police were used during the evictions. It is so ordered. 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."
