    "content": "I was really proud to be a Kenyan in the last election. For once we had a very competitive election and we came out of it without the normal post-election violence. If this trend continues, it will make Kenyans free to go and own land outside their ancestral homes. This will also help in reducing the pressure on land. So, we as politicians, political leaders and the Government, need to ensure that the trend that we saw in the last election continues. That is the only way the Abagusii and any other communities will be free to go to Kitale or North Rift and own land without the fear that after every five years, this may be taken away from them. So, the political environment also determines how land is subdivided because if I have fear that if I own land out there, I face a risk of being ejected and what is mine being taken because I do not belong there, then there is the pressure of me going back home to insist that I must get my share of what my father left, so that in case the unfortunate happens, I have a fall back plan. As leaders, we should also live as Kenyans. Let us show our people that one can live anywhere and own property anywhere because some of the people from areas where farming is done, can bring those skills to areas where those skills are not available. This will improve food production."
