"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my general comment on this issue is that, please, demystify this importance that people place on land. This is really an issue of leadership. I want to quote here very proudly; being a daughter of a man who has four daughters and only one son, my father is a man who believes not even on taking dowry for his daughters, because we are not objects, we do not need to be sold. Secondly, he believes that his daughters should inherit land; but also believes that his own sisters can inherit land. I am saying this because my colleagues will laugh loudly, as you can hear them. But this is where the problem is and, the reason why we will never move forward on the issue of land! This is because when you speak about land to men, it is as if you are taking away their manhood. But the truth is that, that land that you hold on to creates enmity between brothers and sisters because of land. That is what is messing up our countries today because I see young people on the streets calling themselves sons of Mau Mau. Others may want to call them Mungiki; but they call themselves the sons of Mau Mau and are asking for their rights, which is the land that their fathers fought for. Between you and me, we know that land is owned by a few people whose names I will not mention. So, unless those people are willing to give up that land, we will continue to be in conflict."
