    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Allow me to welcome the hon. Members to the Third Session. They are energised and ready to work. I appreciate them for the work they have been doing during the recess. I support the citizens of Embu County on the land they request to be issued with the titled deed. The land issue is emotive. It is affecting citizens across the country. It has been giving us conflict within the communities. This is an issue that needs to be addressed at the grassroots level. If this issue is handled correctly, we will remove this menace that has been here year in, year out. It is shameful to see 'hustlers’ who have struggled for more than 20 years put up houses and are brought down by the Government, yet it is the Government that issues title deeds. These issues do not start with the citizens, but the Government. It is high time that the relevant Cabinet Secretary streamlines problems, so that they are handled correctly and these people get their documents. I also know that certain public institutions run without a title deed. It is high time that the committees of this House up their game in terms of oversight, to ensure that the issues of these institutions' documents are put straight and given back to the members of the public. I support the petitions, and we should up our game as leaders."
