    "content": "the people who are in them are foreigners. It, therefore, beats any logic for any Government to be in power and yet its citizens are suffering. If you also go to Nanyuki, you will find a place called Kwambuzi, where people were evicted and they are living in villages in those bad conditions. If you go to Majengo, Nanyuki, and Rikie, you will find that the conditions they are living in there are bad, with no hospitals or roads. It is as if the Government has neglected its people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are a people who know how to maintain our environment. If you go to Mt. Kenya, we have a very good environment, but it does not help Kenyans. It helps just a few people, because we keep on suffering. We have all those animals like Elephants in these big tracts of land. When they leave those areas, they come to our small pieces of land to cause havoc. We feel frustrated, and that is why I stand to support this Petition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Committee which is chaired by Sen. Mwangi Githiomi for the good job they are doing. We brought the Petition of Marmanet, and it is our hope that they will do a good job so that the people of Laikipia get justice, not only small pieces of land. This is because 90 per cent of Laikipia is occupied by about 10 people. Therefore, all we are asking for is that we be given what belongs to us."
