    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, we need to be very careful with this definition as Members of Parliament. In most of the areas where we come from, the land on which most public institutions stand was donated by community members. Either an individual or a group of community members donated land. It has become very tricky just because you are a sponsor in the name of a church, you come and take that land and then you claim its ownership. In the future when the community wants to put up another community project on it, accessing that land becomes impossible. Some of these sponsors have actually, to some extent, blocked any further development on such land while the development is supposed to benefit the community. In that case, we need to define a sponsor very clearly and make sure we have a provision, so that in a situation where land was donated by a community, that community has the right to say: “We want this land because we want to build a secondary school, or we want to put up a technical school here since the land is adequate.” Some even have 40 acres. The community can go ahead and get that land to put up another institution. When defining “sponsor” there is need to have a provision that the community also has a right where they provided land."
