    "content": "Before we went on recess, there was a Petition before the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, regarding the same piece of land and many others within the county that KDF is trying to claim. In the recent eviction, the rights of the people of Isiolo were violated because the national Government on the ground, instead of giving them the copy of the notice, the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) representative came and read the notice and they refused to give them a copy of the notice so that they know why they were being evicted. Mr. Speaker Sir, it looks like we are being boxed into a corner by KDF in the whole county because we have four KDF camps within Isiolo County. On Saturday and Sunday, I was around that area, and you can imagine KDF carrying out its practice within an area that people are occupying. This is very dangerous. Secondly, we cannot expand and this does not mean that we are against the Government institution or Government developing its operations. Where are we going to expand to as a county in terms of development? Clearly, this is a big problem. It is something that requires urgent intervention by the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources because there is a threat by the County Commissioner of Isiolo going on the ground tomorrow to mark the areas where people will be evicted. There are children who are in school, hospitals and so many other Government institutions in that area. I had a discussion earlier with the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources and I would request your office to facilitate the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources to immediately go to the ground and help the people of Isiolo so that we can get the truth of this particular matter. I thank you."
