    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, and congratulations to Hon. King’ara. I have seen that leaders have already talked about safeguarding of our public institutions and also protecting the 10 per cent which has been given as surrender for public amenities. I want to talk about the issue of the leases. Sections 6, 7 and 12 of the Lands Act provide that those leases which have been given to non-citizens, at expiry, have to revert back to the county governments or to the national Government, as the case may be. This will regulate the issue of leases because there have been many cartels in various structures of the Government dealing with land issues, where they have been renewing leases without following proper regulations. The second issue is about public land which has been allocated for public programmes. This issue needs to be done in a way that, if a piece of land has been allocated, maybe, for agricultural purposes or any other public project, it has to remain for the same purposes. We have seen, for example, in Kilifi, there is a piece of land which has been earmarked for agricultural purposes under the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) but, right now, that piece of land has been allocated to various influential people in this country. Previously, it was under public projects."
