    "content": "When we talk about land in Kenya, we are talking about settlement of the very poor Kenyans among us. We are also talking about worthiness of land. Without land in our country, somebody feels that he is not worth anything. Also, at the end of life, somebody with a piece of land will be laid to rest on his land. Therefore, land is very important in this country. I would like to congratulate the Minister, the PS and their team addressing land issues in this country. I am happy that they have been able to address corruption in their Ministry. It is encouraging to note that the Ministry is able to collect revenue for itself. That is why I concur with my colleagues that the Ministry should be given the opportunity to retain the money they collect, so that they can improve on service delivery. They can computerise most of their services. I would urge the Ministry to decentralise land issuance of title deeds and other records. We want to access all land records in Kapenguria. We do not want our people to travel all the way to Eldoret, Nakuru, Kitale or Nairobi to know the status of a particular land in Kapenguria. It is very important that the Ministry considers decentralising land issues. Some of these land issues can be tackled at the district level."
