    "content": " Thank you, for giving me an opportunity to comment on the Report by the Special Funds Accounts Committee. Some of these things we forget about them until they rear their ugly head or appear on the national front. The Agricultural Settlement Fund was established in 1963/64. Essentially, the purpose of this Fund was to raise funds to purchase land to settle Kenyans who had been robbed off their land by the colonialists. For historical perspective, when the colonialists came to Kenya, through various land ordinances, they took land belonging to natives as they called them, and put them in camps and manyattas. At Independence, obviously out of fear, a number of them sought to leave the country. At the point of leaving the country, they had an agreement with the Government to purchase those large parcels of land in the white highlands and other parts of the country.
