    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I thank the hon. Member for Emuhaya for bringing up this Motion which is long overdue. The issue of information for planning is very key. Kenya hopes, through Vision 2030, to be a first world but we cannot reach that level if we do not have information on what is available and what is needed to arrive there. I want to say that what the hon. Member is proposing about special data infrastructure is very critical. As we are today, if you want information for agriculture, you have to go to the Ministry of Agriculture physically to get that information. That also applies to the Ministry of Gender and Children Affairs. What the hon. Member is saying is that we must bring this information together so that one does not have to go to the Ministry of Agriculture or Ministry of Gender and Children Affairs to get that information. As of today, we are struggling to resolve issues of land ownership and other things and I hope this system, if put in place, the land administration system will be easy and everybody will have access to that information. We do not have to go to the Ministry of Lands to get the search certificate or we do not have to get the maps from the Ministry of Lands. All that information should be in their system. If that happens, we will avoid situations like what is happening now. We will be able to manage all our resources like water. I do not want to say much but I want to support the Motion and say that once this Motion is passed today, the Committee on Implementation should ensure that it is implemented by the relevant Ministry."
