    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Petition. Land is a big issue in this country. Citizens do not live in peace and at ease. Even people with titles no longer trust the titles they have. One minute, one can have a title, and in the next minute, the title is challenged. You do a search on a land, and you get a search certificate that has no meaning. It is time that as the Committee looks at this, it looks at the broader issue of land. This is one area we must come out. It is not an issue at the Coast only, but everywhere across the country. The Committee should look at the proper entitlement to land, proper certification of land, and proper registration, so that when citizens have a piece of paper from a Government office, it has meaning. It should also ensure that these processes are expedited. Delayed processes invite people with ill intentions to occupy other people's land and even claim it. With that, I support this Petition. I urge the Chairman of the Committee to look at this issue of land broadly. We are terrestrial animals. We do not live in the air or water. We can only live on land. And if there is anywhere we should have peace, it is on land."
