    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the House and the Committee led by its able Chairman, hon. Dr. Mutava Musyimi. I think more than any other committee dealing with legislation relating to land, it is a very difficult exercise; a very difficult undertaking. Initially, there were fears that this process would not move forward. But I think they were able to go round the country, take time and look at these Bills, clause by clause. In fact, I think if it was within my powers to confer honorary doctorates on all the members of the Committee, I will do it. That is because I saw them in action. They were engaging very senior lawyers, the Law Reform Commission, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and many eminent lawyers that are referred to in some of these sessions. I could see them interrogate not only the Bill itself, but the views that were being presented to them by experts. I thought for a moment that I was sitting in a committee of lawyers but, at the end of the day, good laws is good common sense. I think the Committee has done a wonderful job."
