    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to express my heartiest condolences to the family and the people of Kangemi for the death of hon. John Michuki. This man was my friend, my colleague, my age mate and I had a lot of respect for him. For the time we have stayed together in the Cabinet, we always consulted very closely and I have great respect for him. This is not an ordinary person. You can see what he did to the chaotic public transport system. He reformed it and got it working again. But it is surprising what people do sometimes in their Government. Hon. Michuki was removed from that portfolio and the whole public transport system went into chaos. Accidents increased and so many other things happened. It is still in total chaos. I do not know what we are going to do, whether we are going to get another person who will clear up the public transport system. This was a man who spoke the truth, stood by his word, made proposals properly and followed them. He was a great man. He was made of sterner stuff and I think we should put him in the history of this country as one of the people who brought light to the people of Kenya. I now want to go to my contribution on this Land Registration Bill. First of all, I am of the opinion that this land question in Kenya must be looked into very carefully, so that we do not fall into the pitfalls that we fell into over the last 100 years. It is a fact that all the conflicts that have arisen from this country latest was because of land. People fought over land. Many people died and many lost their properties because people have been fighting over land. It is important that we sit down and think of what best we can do about this question of land. Unless we sort out this land issue, we will continue with problems in this country. I am not suggesting like others have said that we should delay these Bills, but if there was an opportunity to go back and investigate what can be done about land in this country, it will be very helpful. We have vulnerable areas or areas that have been seriously affected, namely, the Coast and the Maasai Community. I want to go back and talk about our problems as the Maasai Community."
