    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this chance to make my contribution on this Petition. It is, indeed, very sad that at this time, people have been living for around 70 years in an unstable situation by being displaced. Up to now, they are still squatters in their own country. I want to narrow down to the issue of Mau, on which I have little knowledge about. The people who are living in Mau--- Remember that I am not saying “Mau Forest” because not all the places those people are living in is necessarily the gazetted forest. Sen. Orengo was saying that some of them were the Ogiek, Ndorobo and the rest, who were from Kericho and Bomet and who were historically living in the current areas that were occupied by the colonialists. They planted tea, took them as schemes and displaced those people who actually went to the forests. The colonial master then left. It is unfortunate that the tea plantations are there and they are not benefitting those people in any way; and they never went back to their former land."
