    "content": "I would like to call upon our lawyers and more so the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to appreciate this kind of project. They should not look at it as a way of stopping them from doing what they do every day, carrying different documents in corridors. They should appreciate that they can also find a niche in a digitised economy where our title deeds are stored in soft copies. They should not fight this project because it is among the projects being fought. Digitisation for private land is being done by the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. Public land is being digitised in collaboration with the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning and the National Land Commission (NLC). With regard to assisting in production of title deeds, surveying and all that that goes with production and digitisation of title deeds, this Government has been able to build registries and purchase vehicles which have been taken to different counties. It has also encouraged our workers in this ministry by giving them promotions, some of whom had not been promoted for the last 15 years. I would like to laud the Government for this. I would like to reflect on what the President said about the work of this House. He appreciated we do legislation, vetting of officers and oversight. He did not complain about harassment of officers, but thanked us for the oversight we are offering his administration. He also put the House into task on the issue of Sectorial Properties Bill which is ongoing. We promised to deliver soonest possible and I am informed it has come back from the Senate. I would like to reflect on the love for this country that the President has. He compared himself with Moses. Those of you who have seen tarmac roads in your constituencies and counties may not be able to relate to this the way those of us who did not have a single kilometre of tarmac road would relate The President gave his own experience in this House as an Opposition Leader, seated on the Opposition side; as a minister and as a President during the hard times when the country was burning out there. Also, as a President in better times that is after the handshake when there is some peace. He said he feels like the Moses of this country. The people of my constituency and Kitui County relate with this in that our President has shown courage on where he would like to take this country. He has shown us his relationship with God and he has faced challenges in very difficult times. He offered solutions and will not give up. This is a very good analogy we can relate with. I would like to relate with connectivity because for once, I have a 147 kilometres road. As I conclude, I would like to say that the President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, has saved our people from being kept on the road waiting to be buried."
