    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to start by saying how important this particular Motion is. I would also like to take this opportunity to pass my compliments to my brother hon. Ochilo-Ayacko and, of course, to you for giving me this opportunity. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if this Motion goes through, we will be able to protect our schools among other institutions. Since this Motion is meant to protect schools, may I also take this opportunity to thank His Excellency the President for scrapping tuition fees in our secondary schools with effect from January, 2008. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we manage to pass this Motion, which I support, then we will be addressing a special ill that has led to the death and loss of property of our institutions. This is the ill known as land grabbing. Most hon. Members know that land belonging to most of our institutions in this country has been grabbed by powerful individuals and, unfortunately, even by people who had an opportunity to serve in Government. It is, therefore, important that we pass this particular Motion to ensure that the issue of grabbed land is addressed. I hope that it is still not too late for us to legislate that any land which originally belonged to a public institution, and which is now privately owned, should be repossessed so that it reverts back to its original use."
