    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion about the minimum and maximum land holding acreages by Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi. The focus should be to protect pastoralists’ land, rangeland and the community land. The view that the pastoralists’ land is seen to be idle or waste should not in any way affect the lives of pastoralists. There is no idle land. The framers of this Motion squarely target the pastoralists community. There is a proposal to reduce the ownership of land by bringing the issue of the minimum and maximum land holding acreages. We should look at the usage. The pastoralists community have huge sizes of land but they use it purposely for farming and cattle rearing. Most of the time and because of climate change, we do agro-ecological zoning whereby we start from point one of the land; we come to the middle up to the end for gracing purposes. The proposal should consider the production system of the land. We should not say land is useful when only using it for farming, to build houses or other businesses but when used for cattle rearing, it is considered idle.
