    "content": "Indeed, this kind of paralysis cannot be accepted. It cannot be allowed to continue if they are going to continuously let Kenyans believe that as a country, we are concerned about their welfare. If we cannot put the matters in the land sector in the right perspective, if we cannot address the issues that underlie the paralysis in land sector, we are allowing our Government to continue losing money which it would have collected through revenue that comes through land transactions. We do this and at the same time, we start lamenting that there is a problem of the wage bill. So, it is a question of the Government not getting its acts together. This Government needs to be compelled to do what is right for the citizens. One such step is this Amendment Bill as proposed by hon. Mbadi. So, I want to urge my colleagues that this Amendment Bill is very noble. It is very useful and we need to support it in its entirety. I must end by emphasizing one point, that it is important at every given moment for the Government to understand that there is no way that we are going to develop this economy if the cost of living for the common person continues to skyrocket. It is not going to be possible."
