Kuria Kimani","speaker":{"id":13435,"legal_name":"Francis Kuria Kimani","slug":"francis-kuria-kimani"},"content":"We need to have a conversation as a country about our land use. Every time you fly around the country, you find we are slowly becoming a concrete jungle. We have sub-divided all our land and everyone owns a 50 by 100 plot where we fence, build a house and no land is left for agriculture. As a result, we are saying there are no jobs and food. This is because agricultural land meant for farming is now being used to build houses. I am not saying it is wrong to build houses but how do we achieve a balance between ensuring we have land left for us to do agriculture and accommodate people?"}
