    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the question of land use, which covers more than fifteen pages, and as I said at the beginning, it takes quite a bit of this policy, we are talking about land sizes. It is not that we are reinventing the wheel. Even today, on the question of land sizes, under the Local Control Act, if you want to transfer any agricultural land, there are provisions there which make it impossible for you to sub- divide land further. It prohibits having uneconomic land units, but the law is abused more than it is complied with in places like Kisii. So, you have over-fragmentation of land. Everybody is looking for that quarter of an acre to build a house on and a graveyard and a barn must be in that compound. Some people keep some animals on that land. So, ultimately, the land is overused and cannot be used in a sustainable manner. What happens is that under the Land Control Act, because the legal provisions are not sufficient, you can actually “buy” the members of the Land Control Board and get the land subdivided as you wish."
