    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition that has come through your Office. Kenyans are suffering. I sit in the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. Many communities that have been evicted from some of these protected areas were taken there during colonial times to plant exotic forests and pave way for development in the Kenyan highlands. They did not go there voluntarily. Right now, we are made to believe that they have invaded the forests. However, at no point have these Kenyans invaded any forest. Some of them date back to the colonial times. They were taken there as casual labourers to plant exotic forests and facilitate some of the developments that were happening in the Kenyan Highlands. After that, they were told to cultivate the land and use it to feed their families. They were, therefore, given the land as causal labourers, because they were not paid. That is all they had."
