    "content": "I want to give an example of Konza Technopolis which is in my constituency. The Government has been talking about investing in affordable housing since it bought 5,000 acres of land there. As we speak now, we have the Konza National Data Centre and a lot of infrastructural development has been done. So, the Government should open it eyes because from here to Konza Technopolis is 30 minutes’ drive. It should stop engaging in expensive land in the city and come to Konza Technopolis in my constituency. We will provide over 1,000 acres to invest in affordable housing. This is one of the issues the Motion is seeking to have regulations. I am in the Departmental Committee on Lands where the substantive Speaker served for five years. Some of these land issues will be a priority on my side because we need to put proper regulations in place. I want to allow other Members to contribute on this Motion. So, my closing remarks are that worldwide land issues lack good regulations. I urge the Kenya Government to ensure in the next two or three years they give title deeds to every land owner whether for Government or individual land. So, when we speak of investment in land, there are no disputes."
