    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to also make a contribution on this very important Statement. If you follow the history of the country, issues dealing with land have caused wars. People have fought because of land. When we enacted our Constitution, Chapter Five, Article 60 (1), is very clear on issues dealing with security of land rights. Our Constitution is very elaborate that if you want to take away land that is in private hands, it does not require a Cabinet Secretary, and capriciously declares that he is going to take away land that is belongs to Kenyans who have been issued title deeds. That is not the way you run a Government. When you talk about an estate called Kenya Medical Association (KMA), it has been constructed by doctors and belongs to members of the Kenya Medical Association. These are professionals who have worked so hard to own homes in those estates. We must remind our Cabinet Secretary, who is a member of the club of Senior Counsels in this country that even if he has any grievance against those estates, there is a process that he must follow under our laws. I want to state, without any fear of contradiction because it is the law that the only body that can go to court and have a title cancelled is the National Lands Commission (NLC). The Cabinet Secretary cannot convert himself to be the NLC. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
