    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. Again, we must be careful and listen to what the people wanted. Devolution is a major concept of this Constitution review process. If we want to give meaning to devolved governments, we must empower them to decide on major resources in their areas; one of them being land. We must disabuse ourselves of this constant notion that other people will be driven away from where they live. This is a scarecrow that has no meaning at all. We want to correct what has happened in the past. The over concentration of authority and power in the Central Government has led to the abuse of allocation of land which has deprived many people the opportunity to own land, especially in areas that the Central Government has no idea of the sensitivities involved. So, I want us to bite the bullet and take this to the county governments."
