    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to support this amendment. I think this amendment is here so that it can give us an opportunity to bring that Report to this House. This is the House where we resolve issues of national importance and the issues which are in that report are of national importance and that is going to be a great opportunity to go through it and sort out these issues. As a House, we are dealing with oversight over all issues. So, we must provide the way forward on the issues which were raised in that Report. Coming from a region where people were displaced for multinationals to take over and plant tea plantations without compensation, I believe it is going to be wonderful to get an opportunity to deal with such historical injustices. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know there have been several issues related to land because it is so dear to all of us and even to the people who I represent in this House. I remember at one point there used to be a Minister called Kimunya who used to refer to title deeds belonging to a certain section of this country as pieces of paper. I was very excited when he lost in the elections. I did not find him in this House. I believe by now he understands that thing called a title deed is very important. It is not a piece of paper.
