    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands, although I request that whenever a Statement is prepared in response to a request, the Member should be given a copy of the response in advance, so that he can raise some questions. I was just called this morning and I am sorry that I was not in the House early in the morning. As you know, there is biting drought in our constituencies and I was on the ground trying to sort out water problems. As much as we are saying that these parcels of land are secure, KARI still has large parcels of land that have been taken. Many institutions in Kenya face such a problem. There is need for the Government to quickly issue institutions with title deeds, so as to secure their land. KARI in Naivasha is in a sorry state; I know it because I come from that area. We breed Sahiwal animals within Suswa, Narok East, Kajiado and Trans Mara, and we normally get our animals from that institute. It is unfortunate that drought is biting now, and animals are dying because all the KARI land has been taken by people. Food security in this country is threatened as we watch. I ask the Chairman to move quickly to revert that land to KARI."
