    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary. I stand in solidarity with my friend in his Petition concerning land issues in his constituency. The issue of land conflicts has been clearly picked out in the Njonjo Commission Report, the Ndungú Report, the National Land Policy, and subsequent legislations. The Constitution of Kenya envisaged two separate approaches to solving historical land injustices and land disputes. When we created the National Land Commission, we believed and trusted it would have a full constitutional mandate to resolve such issues. However, over time, its mandate has been emasculated through internecine wars between the main Ministry, the Cabinet Secretary, and the National Land Commission, which are unnecessary. Through this Petition, I hope the legal lacuna will be identified and land dispute resolution matters returned to the National Land Commission. We should also have local land dispute mechanisms which are faster and more efficient. It will consider local issues expeditiously. I support."
