It is a shame that when you travel from Nairobi to Mombasa, or to western Kenya, you see large tracts of idle land, and yet we say that we have squatters in this country. Why do we have squatters? There is absolutely no reason for us to have squatters in this country given that we have large tracts of land lying idle. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why for me, this Policy is about the âlandedâ against the âlandlessâ. I stand with the âlandlessâ. I cannot stand with the âlandedâ because I have no land. Firstly, I am a woman. As such, I am not allowed to own land. Secondly, I am not rich. On that note, I want to laud this Policy because it recognises the fact that we have changed history. So, this Policy is actually writing âher- storyâ, which is the womanâs story, and not âhis-storyâ, the manâs story. I am both Suba and Luo tribeswoman. Amongst the Luo community, the names of all the locations start with the prefix â kanya ---â, meaning âthe home of the daughter of--- â, which means it is women who own them. In the Suba community, I come from a clan called âWamusaaâ. The âMusaaâ is a woman, and not a man. That land belongs to"
