    "content": "As the Petitioner mentioned, the land was given for people to be resettled, but the right people were not settled. There should be consequences for those who settle there and those who settled them, because that was not their right. That is because they are settling on other peoples’ land. There is need for serious discussion regarding these issues, because when the evictions happen, we are taking people back to living below the poverty line. How do you expect the economy of this country to develop and for us to become a middle-income country when all you do is to make people more destitute? Mr. Speaker, Sir, being poor in this country is a crime, because nobody protects the interests of the poor in this country. This sort of thing never happens to the people of means. It is high time that we protected people and stop pushing people to fall below the poverty line. We need to protect peoples’ lives and their livelihoods. That is the only way we can protect our citizens against inequality. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
