"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, paragraphs three, four and five spell out what is the vision, policy, mission and objectives of the policy. The objectives, mission and the vision of the policy state as follows:â âA National Land Policy that will guide the country towards efficient, sustainable and equitable use of land for prosperity and posterity.â The mission of the policy is âTo promote positive land reforms for the improvement of the livelihoods of Kenyans through the establishment of accountable and transparent laws, institutions and systems that deal with land.â More importantly, I would like to cite paragraph 5 which I would like to deal with as one of the major constitutional issues that arises from this land policy. It is important to address those constitutional issues because the âoverall objective of the National Land Policy is to secure rights over land---â This is important because there has been information out there that the policy is trying to undermine interest or rights over land. This is a major point for controversy in the sense of what has been spelt out in the public without looking clearly at the major objective of the National Land Policy. Unlike what many people are saying, the land policy objective is not to undermine land rights as they exist today or in the past. I would like to emphasise the issue of securing land rights in the next page for the hon. Members who have a copy of this document."
