    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree that title deeds are sacrosanct. Owners are always treated as the first owners of the particular land, especially where there is a dispute. But, interesting situations arise which are common between Tharaka-Nithi and Meru. This is where we have land owners who have title deeds, but they do not know where their lands are. That is because they were not properly obtained. As a result, when they go to look for the land, they find it occupied. The occupiers have the first right and claim to that land as the settlers of it. As a result, conflicts arise. It is incumbent on the Government to ensure that such conflicts are resolved. The issue of title deeds which they call titles in the air is when you have the title deed but somebody else has the land. This has to be resolved because it is vitally important. The conflicts will not end purely because you have a title deed, while somebody else has lived on that land from time immemorial. We need to resolve the problem in one way or the other, so that the proper owner of the land is determined."
