    "content": "removed from the communities. We need to address that. I want to plead with the Committee, which is chaired by a progressive Chairman, to address that issue. The Chairman has to do that if he wants to contribute to the history of addressing the serious challenges communities are experiencing. He needs to go on record that he created an ideal community land law. We have an opportunity. Some of us are a living testimony. Our land has been repossessed. We cannot claim that the same aspirations that we had during the constitutional-making process are helping us to address these issues. We need to help Kenyans. We need to help communities that have suffered historically. The Bill also lacks gender implication in terms of how women should be included in decision-making. Pastoralist communities are patriarchal. They relegate women to the back seats, kilometres away. How do we bring women’s interests to this Bill? Many of them are repossessed of their land through dubious and cultural systems that do not favour them."
