    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, let me begin by thanking you for allowing me to make my contribution to this Statement, which I fully support, that has been raised by my colleague, the Senator of Laikipia. From the outset, historical land injustices are the cause of all these problems that we are experiencing in Laikipia. Laikipia County is the bedrock of the historical injustices. When you traverse the county, you wonder what the framers of the Constitution had in mind when they came up Article 67(2) (e), setting up the National Land Commission and giving it the power to investigate- “To initiate investigations, on its own initiative or on a complaint, into present or historical land injustices, and recommend appropriate redress” This Parliament, both the Senate and the National Assembly, passed the National Lands Commissions Act, in 2016 they amended the Act of 2012. In Section 15 of the Act that was amended states as follows- “The Commission shall within two years of appointment recommend to Parliament appropriate legislation to provide for investigation and adjudication of claims arising out of historical land injustices for the purpose of Article 67(2) (e) of the Constitution.” They should set a deadline of 21st September, 2021, where everyone in Kenya who feel aggrieved, can file their complaints to the National Land Commission (NLC)."
