    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in this country statistics have told us that only 20 so- called “fat cats” own large tracts of land. If I am right, they own close to 35 per cent of the landmass in this country. This is, indeed, theft. We need to have a solution, so that these “fat cats” can be exposed. We need to see their faces, because we cannot have 35 per cent of the landmass in Kenya being occupied by only 20 citizens, when we have a population of close to 47 million Kenyans. We must face the reality and this monster. If we do not do so, very soon this country will crumble. I began by saying that there is an elephant in the house. If we leave it to continue growing fat and fat, soon it will break the door and the house, which is, this country where we all stay. Therefore, it is necessary that we address historical land injustices. We must mitigate and resettle all the communities that have been affected, who live in the most arid of areas in this country, while their fertile valleys are being occupied by other communities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few points, I support this Motion and hope that this legislation will come to this House very soon, before we finish our term, so that we can pass it. We will be remembered for what we have done for this country."
