"content": "By deleting the words âto freehold titlesâ, which appears on the fifth line. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason for the amendment has been explained very well by the Minister. The reason why I would want to also propose this amendment is simply because of the business that we have turned land into. As a Government, the policy should be land for agriculture. We have always talked about agriculture being the backbone of our economy. It no longer is! The reason why agriculture is no longer the backbone of our economy is because land has been converted into commercial use. Some use it for speculation. There are people who own acres and acres of land simply for speculative purposes. So, when Kenyans are going hungry, there is land sitting idle that could be used for agricultural purposes."
