    "content": "Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I produced a research paper which I gave to the Ministry of Lands and you can access it. It was done by a company called Southern Western Research Consultancy which I owned at that time. I do not own it any more. You can get a copy of that report in the Ministry of Lands. Institutional land should be given title deeds free of charge because these institutions belong to the Government. There is no moral principle for the Government to tax itself. Imagine a primary school in Kacheliba where the people are poor and are migrating from one point to another. When they migrate to another point especially when they are going to get some cows from the Turkana, they come back to find that the school has been grabbed. If these land titles are given to those schools, that community can migrate and get some cows from the Turkana or Samburu. When they come back the school will be intact and they can utilise it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Parliament should be held accountable for issuing title deeds for sessional land. They should be held responsible when we go for elections. They must ensure that public property is protected. The only way you can protect that land is to give that school a title deed. If that is done, there will be no conflict between the community and some of the sponsors. In some cases you will find that there is some conflict between a community and a church sponsor. This Parliament should within this year, enact a law saying that titles should be issued to every institution free of charge. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
