    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to talk a little bit about community land. Community land under Article 63 of the Constitution is very clearly defined. I want the Minister to understand that community land is related to devolution. Devolution is the essence of this Constitution. This Constitution is really based on devolution and mostly in simple language and simple principles; devolution is so that the people on the ground - the lower groups down there - will be able to decide their own affairs and their own fate, as the case may be. Land is one of the things that must be part of the devolution so that the lower people on the ground will be able to manage and steer their interest on land based on their own whims and aspirations. That is the most important thing. Why am I talking about community land? I know that we have had many problems on land. But I think it is so important especially in the part of the world that I come from. We have group ranches which actually are part of community land, which they brought together--- Factors of management of livestock, water and arid areas are such that they need people to come together and manage their own affairs as a group."
