    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to add my voice to the comments pertaining to the land in Pumwani. I urge the Committee to take this matter very seriously. It is about time Kenyans realize that not every Kenyan can own a piece of land. Two, Kenyans must subject themselves to the provisions of the Constitution which in this matter in the Constitution of Kenya were handed over to the National Land Commission (NLC) and not to the Senate of Kenya. If Kenyans have gone to the NLC and have not got what they wanted, they should not fall back to the Senate. Maybe the furthest they can go is to the court and challenge the decision of the NLC. It is true that everyone has a right to Petition in this House but we want Kenyans to be urged to realize that what we call public land is a land which at the date of promulgation of the current Constitution was at that time unalienated. If land was unalienated in 2010, that opportunity of you partaking of that part of land is gone. You cannot expect to be a beneficiary when the Constitution has now clearly defined that either you are sitting on a private land, you are on community or public land. I believe that this will serve as an opportunity for our Committee to carry people who are applying such as the 29,000 from Pumwani. If you give the 29,000, they will again come with their claims and you will not have anywhere to even built a pit latrine."
