    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with the kind of malpractices that have been going on in the Ministry of Lands, I want to believe that he is going to rectify it all; already we are seeing a lot of changes. In fact, most of the problems that we are facing in this country now are land-related. Most of the complaints that we are hearing among communities and leaders are land-related. However, I want to believe that the Minister will bring sanity to the Ministry, and that we are going to get what we believe is going to help this country move forward. We have moved. If you go to a district like Lamu, and I am glad that it has been captured in the Minister's speech, up to now, the native people of that area are still being referred to as squatters. They have not been settled up to now in their rightful areas in Lamu District. If you go to Meru North, for instance, since Independence up to now, people do not have title deeds. There are a lot of irregularities either intended or otherwise, and up to now people are still grappling about how to get title deeds. If you go to a district like Narok South, many areas have not even been declared as adjudication sections, leave alone the possibility of getting title deeds. I am glad that the Minister has captured that. I want to believe that it is going to be among the districts that will benefit from these 122 adjudication areas and get title deeds. This will enable people to develop their own parcels of land. Even on the issue of historical injustices, we have said that land is one of the factors. The areas which are still open and, where there is no land adjudication and people have no title deeds are now the cause of conflict, because Kenyans, in their very nature, are moving into these areas, sometimes even trying to take land by force. So, the faster the Minister moves to issue title deeds in these areas, the faster he will solve some of these conflicts. I just want to support the Vote and urge that we approve the allocation that has been requested by the Minister. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
