    "content": "they can put up a house. In fact, to a larger extent, when it comes to burying their loved ones, some families struggle a lot. Again, unutilised land has caused food insecurity in our country. We know very well that some of the people who own land just do so because of some sentimental thinking - they do not want to develop the land. They do not want to plant crops. They do not want to do anything. Just having the land there satisfies them. They are not doing any development on the land. They are not doing anything! Most of them live in cities. Kenya is suffering because we do not have enough food to feed our people. Where possible, we need enough land so that those who can do farming are enabled to do it. We also know that poverty levels are quite high in some areas. For example, where I come from, we have huge tracts of land which is not arable and you cannot also live there because of the harsh climatic conditions. So, we are forced to gather around the mountain in Saku area, which is an area that we keep fighting over. If the Government can help in settling people and developing the place by having all the basic needs like water, infrastructure, schools, and electricity there, then people can settle easily and see how they can survive."
