    "content": "In many areas in the Coast Province, you will be shocked! I came across a title that was given to somebody in 1912. That person has not stepped in Kenya. That grant has been transferred by way of instrument to successive land owners who basically use that land as collateral, but have done nothing on the land for the last 100 years. When you go to the Coast, you will begin to understand the land problems there. You will understand why we have the highest number of indigenous squatters. You will begin to know that the long leases or the freehold titles were purposely meant to deny Kenyans access to land. I am talking about access to land as referred to on pages 20 and 21, where you will see that the policy is not as such emphasizing ownership or distribution, but access. Public land should be accessible to Kenyans either for infrastructure or building public institutions and the like. If you rationalize those land tenure systems, then the public will have the benefits of the fruits of the land as opposed to a situation where someone has a freehold title on Government land."
