    "content": "people who stay in a point. It cannot also be denied that we have had several cases of historical injustices due to land clashes. We have had issues of squatters - people who have nowhere to stay. Once we expedite this policy and enact it, we will address all the concerns that people have had over land issues in this country. We will not be the first to set up maximum and minimum legislations. Several jurisdictions in the United States of America and Australia have provisions on minimum and maximum landholdings. Once we set up those regulations and policies, we will clearly demarcate places where we can engage in serious arable farming and places for settlement. We will also gain funds from taxing persons who hold land which they do not use. There are persons in this country who own large tracts of land, but they never pay any tax on it. Once we have this policy in place, we should address all those concerns. I support this Motion. We will be discharging our duty which is a constitutional imperative given to us by Kenyans in Article 68(1) of the Constitution, which we have not realised up to now."
