    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to thank the Chair and the Members of that Committee for bringing us this amendment. Land is a very emotive issue that has really affected a number of Kenyans. We have lost a number of lives and we have a number of people living by the roadside despite the fact that they have Government documents like the people from Mau. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have also been lucky to serve as a leader for a long time in Bomet County where we have an issue of a private investor who is alleging that he owns land that a university sits on. So, this Bill is going to assist us to cure a number of issues to help the present and even the future generation in terms of acquiring public amenities. I support the Committee and urge this House that the relevant Committee should also be sitting with the Select Committee on Implementation so that when the Bill is passed, see whether it is being implemented to the letter or it is just a Bill that will just be there. These are issues that have been affecting us year in, year out."
