    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Article 60 (1)(b) talks about security of land rights. When you take that and you go all the way to Article 67 on the issue of the National Land Commission--- Article 67(e) says that the National Land Commission will address land historical injustices and Parliament will make legislation on this. That is why we are here. I would appreciate that when the Land Commission becomes operational, it should address the very important issue of land by finding something in the Ministry of Lands which will give them direction; there are issues of land policy. The principle is security of the land. I am not very sure whether that has come out quite clearly. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my colleague, hon. ole Ntimama, has talked at length about community land. Community land is captured in Article 63. I talk at length and with passion about community land. When you look at Kajiado County, for example, the Amboseli National Park, which is part of the community, has continued to remain a national park, when it should actually have been part of the community land. So, those are the issues which eventually will be captured by the National Land Commission. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we are serious on addressing land issues, we should appoint proper, qualified and genuine people to the National Land Commission. They should be people who have land. You cannot bring somebody who has got no land to manage land. So, we want people who understand historical injustices and know what the issues are---"
