    "content": "The challenge we face today, as a country, is lack of proper planning. Individuals are evicted from places where they have lived for many years. When I served at the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), some of the communities were evicted from those lands after they had put up public utilities in place, such schools and hospitals. That is clearly because we do not plan for those facilities in time; neither do we advise members of the public before they occupy such areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is high time that we should stop evicting people after they have lived in those areas for generations. It is unfair. Where are such people expected to move to? There is a case in Isiolo County, where the KDF is evicting people who have lived there over the years. I have witnessed crude ways being used in the acquisition of community land. The communities are not involved in the acquisition of public land. We need to come up with policies where individuals are protected and a solution given to them when they are evicted. You cannot tell people to move, yet you do not have a solution for them."
