"content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this amendment. This is because development should be bottom up in this country. Power emanates from the people. The power to own land and decide comes from the people. If we decide for them about their land, what will they be doing? This is about knowledge versus wisdom. There is wisdom in the lands boards which consist of the elderly in this country. This applies to the the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands and those lands without title deeds. I can see that this National Lands Commission is out to grab land from people who do not have title deeds. I come from a constituency where only one-tenth of its people have title deeds. The rest is public land. We need to manage the land ourselves and decide how we want to use it and not the National Land Commission. I support."
