    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Bill by Hon. Baya. One thing I would like to say is that the limited timeline within which the Commission could deal with historical injustices on matters to do with land could have affected many important things and some of the land injustices that needed to be sorted. As of now, most of the land, especially land under the county governments, has been grabbed. Those who undertook physical planning during the tenure of the former local authorities set aside land for cemeteries where people could bury the homeless. The planners had foreseen a situation where we could no longer continue to bury our people on our lands. Most of the land that was set aside for public cemeteries has already been grabbed. There was an instance in my constituency where a person who did not have land died, and we found that most of the cemeteries had been grabbed and occupied. I wish to support the Bill. Anybody who has Government land or has grabbed land must understand that, that land will continue to be Government land however long it takes."
