    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kiambu is turning into a concrete jungle, yet it has the best agricultural land in this country. The farmers there are selling their land to people to build houses. Why should the Government allow that? I am not saying they should not sell land, but this should be regulated, so that land in Kiambu and other places is used only for recreation purposes. Somebody can move to some other part of the country and put up his estate or high rise buildings, if he wants to do that; agricultural land that is most productive should not be turned into concrete. I think there is lack of policy by the Government to ensure that we protect the land on which we can grow food for the future. This is exactly what is happening now in the southern part of Kenya, where land is subdivided into small holdings and then it is converted into other uses which have no policy, but which the Government should protect through policy."
