    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to support Hon. Chonga’s Petition. Land grabbing has become a menace in the country. Some people have no morals. They know you possess a title deed, yet they still corrupt land officials to obtain fake titles. We should cultivate a culture of respecting ownership, and allowing others to own what belongs to them. The Bible says, and I quote: “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?” What is the use of grabbing so much land that you cannot use or develop? This is just disturbing people’s peace. I suggest the Committee on Public Petitions should resolve this issue so that the rightful owners, who have lived on this land for many years, can continue with their lives with their children, grandchildren, and ancestors. People should enjoy the environment where they have lived for long. This needs to be resolved. We must understand that if you take someone’s land, yours could be taken one day as well."
