    "content": "I am sorry for that. I meant the Kenya Kwanza Government. The Kenya Kwanza Government, led by Hon. Samoei Ruto, came up with a good proposal for affordable housing. Affordable housing is not a new phenomenon. It has been there before. For instance, we had the Majengo Estate in Ruiru, which the Government did. We also had the Kangangi Estate Houses, which were done in 1976. The proposal for affordable housing that the Ruto administration has come up with is not a new phenomenon. We should embrace it. As much as we want to embrace affordable housing, where will we construct houses if we do not have land? To support the Kenya Kwanza development agenda, we have to start by securing land, which the Government can develop. The new model for conducting business today is through public-private partnerships (PPPs), where private institutions provide funds to develop dams, hospitals and technical institutions. As much as the Ruto administration wants to develop such projects, including roads, which will be done under PPPs, there is no land. Why not take this opportunity to amend the Land Act to secure the little remaining land? On behalf of all people of Ruiru, I request the House to see it fit to support this amendment Bill so that we can develop our land."
