    "content": "This Bill is timely. It will safeguard ownership, particularly in pastoral areas. Most of Kenyans have not been registered where they have private titles. When this law is enacted, it will define how land can be acquired in those areas. The counties should be able to safeguard the interest of the communities. They should not just decide to give land to investors. I listened keenly yesterday and the previous day as Members contributed to this Bill. Some Members said that certain counties have advertised land for investors to come and take thousands of acres. They are not supposed to set aside land to give investors. If they are going to set aside land, they must involve the communities. Fortunately, in our Constitution, there is public participation. Before a county sets aside land, it must involve the communities. The communities must give their views. Clan and community elders must be involved so that they can say that the land was for a certain clan and family. Once they agree, that process moves forward."
