    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I come from a school of thought that everything must have an end-point. It cannot just be an open cheque and an endless process where we litigate non-stop. Even election petitions, as emotive as they are, have timelines. Even the presidential one, which has so much public interest, has a timeline. I sincerely support the amendment that has been moved by the Member of Parliament for Marakwet West that once the National Land Commission seizes the matter, it must be required by law to conclude it within a certain period, however complex it is. There cannot be something so complex that it cannot be resolved in one year. This is a matter of record. There are witnesses. If they are dead witnesses, they are dead witnesses. There is nothing you can do. You cannot exhume their bodies, give them life to come and give evidence. They are dead. Within one year, you must have resolved the matter because we do not want to be held in circles like the Public Petitions Committee that has been unable to move. We need those timelines. I sincerely support and urge the Committee and the Majority side to accept that amendment so that we can put a cap."
