"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I hold the Bill very positively and I appreciate all the deliberations, contributions, support and even disagreements. It is part of life. I come from Ruiru, an area whose entire land was coffee, sugar and sisal plantations. There is no more sugar, sisal or coffee. Actually, the last coffee plantation was the 15,000 acres belonging to Tatu City. The land has just been transformed into the Tatu City. It is out of that concern that I realised most of the land was taken. We have no land for schools. I would want to give an example. I did not want to do this at this moment, but because of the nature of the concerns, I want to put it this way. We have Mwiki Primary School with 4,000 pupils in one-acre of land. If you check the records, public land for the school was more than 70 acres. At the time when the land in Githurai was private land, 70 acres or thereabouts was set aside as public land during registration. Now, you cannot see the 70 acres. That is the nature of the problem. The proposal requires owners of private land to give, at least, some part of their land for public use. That is the spirit of the proposal."
