We have dealt with similar cases in the Committee Land, Environment and Natural Resources. Without a doubt, land issue is the most emotive. As Sen. Wambua said, it is a travesty to imagine that since Independence, we still have Kenyans, voters and taxpayers who are living as squatters in their country.
