    "content": " I think the Honorable. Member, who is my friend wanted to inform me, but he did not ask me for permission to be informed because I do not think I was out of order. So, next time, do not misuse the Standing Orders. As I conclude, allow me to address the issue of land. I would still like to understand that this Bill has not addressed how the Government is taking up public land. This Bill has not addressed the legal framework around taking over pieces of land in our backyards, and that is why I am not supporting it. You cannot come to my county and sub-county and purport to take over public land to construct houses; land that was alienated for some project that serves the community. For example, in Githunguri Constituency, there is a proposal to take up land that was supposed to be used for our mau-mau veterans memorial and cultural activities, and there is a lot of coercion happening so that the community can lose that land to affordable housing. I still feel that this is not right."
