    "content": "of this nation. I urge Members that this is the opportunity we must stand up to defend the poor people who cannot afford to go to court to claim their land. This is the opportunity for those who have long been oppressed to get a solution to their problem. This is the opportunity for us, as Members of Parliament, to stand with the spirit of the Constitution and be counted as people who stood up when everyone else did not want poor people to be represented. I beg Members who sit in this Chamber to consider those people who have suffered historically, those who have never seen a title deed from 1963, those whose title deeds have been quashed by other bodies, and those whose lands have been grabbed by people who only know how to grab land. Even the Mau fought for freedom, but when they came back, the land that they owned had been taken away by those people who sided with the British. This is the moment. This is the opportunity. I urge this House to stand with the poor of this country and give them an opportunity to be heard using NLC. It is the only last frontier for the poor people of this country. I request the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands to second this Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
