    "content": "To restore fully the sanctity of title, we are also digitising all the land records across the Republic. This national endeavour is anchored under the National Land Information Management System (NLIMS). The system is designed to enhance security of land records, improve accessibility, and also dramatically reduce the cost of land transactions. I call on all stakeholders and in particular the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to embrace and support this positive transformation that removes land information management in Kenya from its current 19th Century systems and standards to those that are more appropriate to the 21st Century. Other reforms in the sector include the formulation of the Sectional Properties Bill to bring legal clarity to the ownership of sectional properties. The Bill is in its final stages before introduction in this esteemed House. My prayer to you, Hon. Members, is that we pass this Bill that will allow millions of Kenyans access mortgage and credit for their apartments and smaller dwellings, and to create greater equity for all our people. Hon. Members, let me underscore that eradicating the poverty of dignity is not just about secure tenure and dignified habitations. The poverty of youth dignity is also one of the areas we have focused on. Youth pessimism and fatalism can also be turned to patriotism if youth are liberated from the poverty of dignity. We have worked hard to give youth self-esteem and a sense of purpose. We have done this because dignity comes from self-reliance and a sense of contributing to society. If the youth are given a sense of national importance, they will own the country and guard it jealously as active shareholders. Initiatives such as contracting youth artisans as suppliers to the Big Four Projects are a visible example of this successful approach. The second intention under the Big Four during this reporting period has also been about young people. My Government’s objective has been to shift our young people from being earners of wages to owners of capital. We have modelled this through engaging them in collective action.
