    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I stand here, in this beloved country called Kenya, we have really made land such a serious matter. We have really made land such a very scarce resource. Kenyans cannot find affordable land. What happens is that you can only get land which is being sold by unscrupulous Kenyans in Syokimau and other places like Eldama Ravine. What is this policy that makes land very scarce in Kenya? It is even easier for you to go and buy land in the Central Business District (CDB) in Dar-es Salaam at a cheaper rate than along Mombasa Road; even towards Machakos. Why have we made land in Kenya so scarce, expensive and so rare? I hope the Ministry of Land will look for ways of making land available. When Kenyans want to build homes, let them be able to get land where they can build their homes; whether it is in the city or elsewhere. Let us make land an available resource. Land is so scarce now. Why can this Government not make available 100,000 acres of land in the outskirts of Nairobi at affordable rates? A small piece of land in Nairobi will cost you Kshs10 million and yet, if you go to other cities like Dar-es Salaam, Kampala and Johannesburg, land is affordable, unlike in Kenya."
