    "content": "to learn that if you go to the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development and tell them to give you a file which is supposed to have these documents, they will tell you that there is nothing there. I am pleading with the Chairperson of the Senate Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources to think outside the box. We must begin to look into the issues that are involving the county governments. You know, that some of our colleagues and friends in the county governments have an interest there. In some cases, they deliberately forestall and preempt the decisions of the NLC. Some of them do not even want to listen to court orders. I hope the Kenya Kwanza administration will ensure that any time there is a court order on a matter that has been finalized, where individuals have been called out by the courts, they will implement whatever the decision is arrived at. Let us have an approach where we look into the land question in Kenya comprehensively. Let us not deal with our problem in a piecemeal manner. We were supposed to do digitization of the land record system. To date, it has not been done. I know there's a challenge in terms of the resources. I encourage the Senate Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources to seek experts who can from a subcommittee or an ad hoc committee which will specifically look at these issues and make sure they are sorted out expeditiously so that Kenyans do not feel disenfranchised and denied their rights. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I hope that the Committee will work with speed and solve this country's problems on matters land."
