    "content": "Kenyan citizens, are actually living in those lands. Some were given to the so-called “fat cats” in this country. As we all know, land in this country also became a political reward; that each succeeding President decided to award fertile and the very best of prime land to their cronies, thus forcing massive eviction of many communities. I have in mind what happened to the Marakwets and the Pokots, who lost large tracts of land which were occupied by other citizens of this country. If this elephant is not clearly faced, historical injustice will continue in this country. It is the high time that the NLC actually decided to deal with its core mandate; that is to establish legislation that will clearly deal with this issue. As I indicated earlier on, we need to slay this monster, once and for all. The NLC has bogged itself down with very mundane delays and tasks. Instead of dealing with this core issue, they have dealt with issues of approval of staff and ensuring that they have infrastructure. For the NLC to say that they have a fight with the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development is an excuse. They need to deal with this core task which does not even need an office for them to sit in, to prepare legislation which can be brought quickly to Parliament for debate and passage."
