    "content": "the centre of the agitation for the transformation of this country. It is so gratifying. Indeed, it is actually historic for those of us who have the opportunity to see this transformation take place and even be part of the same in terms of this legislation. It is, indeed, both humbling and a great honour. I want to congratulate the Minister for Lands, hon. Orengo, and the Chairman of the House’s Departmental Committee on Land and Natural Resources, hon. Mutava Musyimi, for the very consultative process that has informed this legislation. In the spirit of the Constitution, which celebrates public participation and consultation, this can be truly described as one of the most consultative pieces of legislation to go through this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have had the privilege of participating in some of those consultations and I can only say that the spirit that has been exhibited on the side of the Government and on the side of the House, through the Departmental Committee, is a spirit that should, indeed, be replicated in all processes that we will be engaging in as we legislate on the new Constitution. I just want to hope that as we complete this journey; a journey I believe holds the hopes, the dreams and aspirations of many Kenyans who want to see a land regime that is better and more easily administered, and that is secure – we shall move with speed, with the leadership of the Minister, to make sure that all these Bills see the light of the day sooner rather than later. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once again, I congratulate the Minister. It is so gratifying that it is hon. Orengo who has been responsible for this process, knowing that he has been such an accomplished “warrior” for the liberation of this country and for the completion of the long journey to see the birth of a new Kenya. I can only say pongezi,Waziri . Congratulations, hon. Musyimi and your Departmental Committee. With those remarks, I support."
