    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me wind up. Lastly, let me say that time has come for us to have creative land use systems. There is no time that will come in this country where all Kenyans will access land. Let me give my own case. My father was supposed to be a rich person with 30 acres of land. However, now, with 19 brothers and sisters, if you divide that land, each one of us will get less than two acres. When you go to the next generation, the land in Kisii will be some kind of a pre-urban settlement. Therefore, time has come for us to look at industrialization. As Vision 2030 says, we have to move Kenya from the status of our peasant Third World Economy to an industrialized society because one acre of land occupied by an industry can employ many people. That is our final solution to landlessness in this country. Finally, I want to say that a lot of our land is occupied by the dead. We have to think more radically of how we can dispose of our dead. The more people we continue burying on our land, the less agricultural land will be available. That is why I am supporting cremation. I think we should cremate more people, so that we can have more land available for agriculture. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this policy paper."
