    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to jog Dr. Khalwale’s memory. When somebody grabbed a plot along Mombasa Road, he came to me and within a month, the land was back in the hands of the public. The Ndung’u Report is just a small component of how to deal with the land sector. In that workshop, I will present to Members of Parliament how many acres of land we have recovered by trying to implement the Ndung’u Report. But ithout a statutory framework, there are many problems that we are confronted with. Some are to do with natural justice. For example, can you revoke without giving somebody an opportunity of being heard? Mr. Ruto raised that before in this House. In order to deal with historical land grabbing, decisive action has to be taken. Whenever reports have been made to me about any land that is in the Ndung’u and there are sufficient records that the land was grabbed, I have not hesitated to take any action. I think we have actually recovered more than 2,000 pieces of land, some as small a quarter an acre and some of them as large as 4,000 acres. We go back to the Ndung’u Report and ensure that the public gets back its assets."
