    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker, I also want to thank the Mover of this Motion hon. Benjamin Langat – and he was my junior in campus - for bringing such a Motion. I will not repeat. It has been said that land is emotive and surely it is. A lot of problems in this country have come as a result of land. I want just to put two issues in perspective. One, before the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution, the power to allocate land and to revoke titles was with the President of the Republic of Kenya, which power, he donated to the Commissioner of Lands. Before 2010, the Minister for Lands, could initiate revocation of land title, the President could do the same, but with the coming into force of the current Constitution, I want to quickly read Article 67(2) (e), and I would urge the Jubilee side, especially the Leader of Majority, my friend hon. Duale, to do this, if he want to help and advice the President to do this. The National Land Commission has the powers to initiate investigations on its own initiative or on a complaint - including a complaint from the Head of State - into present or historical injustices and recommend appropriate redress. Therefore, the people of Kenya took the power to investigate land allocations and land revocations to the National Land Commission. One would have expected that is what should have been done. I just want to urge that two things need to done and the Jubilee side needs to listen to this. We cannot trust a Cabinet Secretary, especially the one who was even defeated to run the Ministry of Water and could steal water pipes."
