James Orengo can assume the size of Harvester Angaine and be the king of lands as well. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I am saying is that if we look at the way land ownership and land use and practices have developed in this nation since Independence, I must say that we have reached a point of no return. This is in the sense that if we do not do something drastic, as a policy for land use which I think the Minister has spelt in the current land policy, and if we do not relate this to the environment and environmental degradation, we are done. There is a river in my constituency called “River Awach”. When I was young, we used to go there and women could draw water and we could drink it. It was clean and it never caused anybody any harm. Now, there is hardly any water there. When there is water in this river, do not dare drink it. This means that upstream, there has been a terrible practice in land use. It is silted and people have not respected the environment. People have cut trees and built their houses right up to the stream. Definitely, we have destroyed our environment through improper land use and management."
