    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the policy is a blueprint. It is a broad statement which spells out the philosophy around land policy. It also proposes the way forward. It is for that reason that you will notice that this, like many other blueprints--- This is the third Sessional Paper that is being placed before this House. It should not be lost to Parliament that the principal function of a Sessional Paper is to provide a framework for policy formulation or the establishment of that policy. If it is a matter that requires legislation, then the legislative process will follow or flow from that blueprint. This Parliament has debated various Sessional Papers over the years. The most famous Sessional Paper was the 1965 Sessional Paper No.10 on African Socialism and its application to Kenya. That Sessional Paper was not law. It was purely a vision or a way of looking at the problems of development at the time and giving a way forward for legislation and action."
