"content": "There are issues in this Constitution which even though we support, we know will cause difficulties. A few people, including the last speaker have mentioned it. I am talking about land. Land is private property. If we have different legislation for land as we do for private property, we have to really come up with a very good reason why we want to say that if you have this amount of land it will be taken away from you. Of course we recognise what has been said constantly by the Ministry of Lands; that there are people who hold large tracts of land in Kenya and yet they are not even citizens. We know that there are some countries in the world, advanced as they are, where you cannot buy property. So, we must have some way of dealing with that but without taking away the respect for private property. Once that is done, it messes up with the banking sector and the right of an individual to own property as we have in the Bill of Rights."
