    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are having trouble with freehold titles. However, as a matter of practice, even before the new Constitution came into place--- What I am saying is that any extensions or new grants, we avoid giving leases beyond 45 years. You will remember that before the white man came here, they preferred going to Canada, Australia and any other territories under the British Empire. However, as an attraction to Kenya, they offered freehold titles or leases of 999 years and even longer ones to entice the white settlers to come to this country. Many of them wanted to go to other parts of the empire, South Africa included. So, part of this is just historical. We have grown out of that mind set. So, if it is a commercial property, 45 year lease is the standard. If it a residential property, because of family consideration, we give 99 years. No more, no less."
