We are not in this country for a dress rehearsal, we are in this country to live effectively. It is only in a play where there is a dress rehearsal because a play is just a play. However, life is not a dress rehearsal. Life is here today and tomorrow we are gone. If you do not live it today and hope for tomorrow, it may be too late. The issue of land is so urgent that it should have been fulfilled as early as yesterday. The issue of having this law that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is calling for is so urgent that we should have had it yesterday. We must thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for bringing the attention of the NLC to do its work. Lastly, in the Constitution of Kenya as well as the County Government Act and the Urban Areas and Cities Act, it is envisaged that in every county, there should be a land management board. Where there are cities we should have a city management board. These two boards are so important because without them we cannot properly manage affairs of land in our cities, urban areas and counties. As this law comes in, I hope somewhere in this law, the role of these boards will be clearly emphasized so that we manage our lands well. I beg to support."}
