    "content": " The bipartisan talks that should go on between Azimio and Kenya Kwanza coalitions should borrow a lot from this document. This Report has a lot of information that needs to be worked on. The Leader of the Majority Coalition, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, and his counterpart, should start from this Report. Let me continue with what I was talking about. I was making a point on the issue of land. The Ministry of Lands should move with speed and ensure that every piece of land in Kenya is documented. I gave an example of some schools in my constituency that do not have title deeds. They did not benefit from the Government support on capitation. In some schools, teachers who are supposed to benefit from enhanced house allowance like those teachers in municipalities are not benefitting because their schools do not have title deeds. When a school does not have a title deed, it is difficult for it to perform any operation and benefit from the Government. We also have cases of clashes in my constituency because of people who have multiple titles. You will find somebody having a title deed, but they do not possess the land, or another one will be occupying land that he has no title deed. There was a land case in Moiben where people were always fighting over. During the planting season, one team would go and plough the land and during harvesting, a different team would go to harvest the produce. So, there was a big problem. How I wish the Ministry streamlines such institutions so that we do not encounter such problems. On the issue of incomplete projects, it is something that is very rampant in Kenya. We have a case of the “Mitihani House” that was begun before I became a teacher. Once upon a time, I was a high school teacher and I was told something about Mitihani House which was being constructed. I have pursued education to a doctoral level and I have become a Member of Parliament yet we are still talking about the same project 31 years later. Incomplete projects are a common occurrence in most parts of Kenya. When a project is delayed, a lot of money is wasted. Starting it over again becomes problematic. When the Government plans to do any project, it should set aside sufficient funds and make sure that the project is completed within the stimulated time.
