    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to welcome the Senate Majority Leader back to the House. He should know that he was treated as a VIP because he has an insurance cover; he is the Senate Majority Leader and a Senator. Normally, ordinary people do not get such kind of treatment. I support the Statement by Sen. Halake. The pastoralists now have hope because the matter has reached Parliament. They believe that the matter will be halted until it is heard and determined but is that going to be the case? That will only happen if this House facilitates the Committee that is going to deal with the military matter. I think that those people might have been disposed of their land already. For lack of a better explanation, I suggest that the Committee that is going to investigate this matter should get to the bottom of it once and for all. Their recommendations are going to speak for many other people who are not saying anything right now. The land in Isiolo is community land. The Members of that Committee should realise that there is a way in which one can change community land to personal land or private land through the back door and this is one of the ways. Community land, which is meant to benefit all the pastoralists as grazing grounds, can suddenly become private land with title deeds and so on without notice and participation of the people. This is dispossessing people of their birth right. I would like to see people’s hope in the Committees of this House restored. Those people should know that they do not have to demonstrate again because the matter has reached here and that it is in safe hands. I wish them well. Isiolo has been literally grabbed. It seems that it was the only place available for everybody to take their piece. People are being kicked out as others divide the spoils of land. I wish the Committee well and hope that they will get to the bottom of this matter."
