"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if somebody has bought land or has been given land by the Government, why can they not be given a freehold, so that the person is free to do farming, or dig a borehole in that area. They cannot dig a borehole because they know that after some time, the land will not belong to them because the Government can repossess it. Even in urban areas like in Nairobi and other towns, where Asians were given plots of land many years ago, some have 99 years leases. At the expiry of these leases, they run to the Ministry of lands to renewal of them. They know without renewal those leases, the Government can repossess the land together with their development there in. The Ministry of Lands does not care whether you have spent millions of money to develop it or not. They only want that piece of paper whether it is a lease for 99 years or 999 years."
