    "content": "I think this is a positive development in our country that Kenyans who are visually impaired or who are physically challenged can take up responsibility in our country and participate in revolutionalizing our country. I have two issues which I would like to put to the Commission, even as we create it today. The Commission must think deep and wide, and help transform our country so that the issue of land is demystified. In other countries, land owners are less than 5 per cent. Land must be viewed as a factor of production. It must not be that every Kenyan must have a little piece of land. I think that is not the way to go. We have very serious challenges of land fragmentation and the Commission must take this country to a level where land is viewed as a factor of production. We should avoid the culture of sub- dividing productive agricultural land and reducing it to residential areas and, therefore, putting a serious strain on food production in our country. I also want this Commission to decentralize its services. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is absolutely no reason why Kenyans should come all the way to Nairobi to get a title deed. The Commission should decentralize its services, so that Kenyans at rural areas can acquire title deeds in every county. We want to demystify this whole thing about title deeds and ensure that the process of adjudication survey and issuance of title deed is taken to the grassroots, where many Kenyan can access. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to support."
