    "content": "of land in this country is very important. Ignoring that bit means you are creating an opportunity for somebody to grab or encroach on the land. That has happened in the past leaving many schools inconvenienced. Both public and private properties have been lost in that manner. So, for it to be cited in the Report that many parcels of land do not reflect ownership by the institutions, it means the issue of ownership has not been captured well. There are many schools which have occupied land that have no titles. In order for us to overcome that problem, I advise that every piece of land occupied and belonging to any school be registered in a proper way. The Committee also properly highlighted the skewed ethnic diversity within members of staff, especially at the level of senior management. Some of us come from areas that have been marginalised for many years. Even if you do not want to use the word “marginalised”, we will keep referring to it because it is a fact that we cannot run away from. When people speak of these great job opportunities in the country, a miracle has to take place for those of us who come from the northern part of Kenya to be remembered. This observation is true. As an august House, we demand to see the face of this country in every institution and Ministry. There are people who have always been in those positions and it is like they own the entire nation. They head ministries and everything else in this country. The marginalised communities also need their share. I support the Committee’s Report and say that they have done their job very well. Surely, there must be some action that follows this great Report that has been tabled before us."
