    "content": "At the outset, I would like to support this Bill. The biggest injustice in this country revolves around land. In this country, some people own huge chunks of land, some people own small pieces of land, while others are completely landless. The historical injustice in this country revolves around land. Before we talk about Kenya or communities, we must talk about land. We should start with land and then talk about communities. If we did not have land, we would not have communities. In this country, we have big communities and small communities, including pastoral communities, farmers, fishermen, agriculturalists and many other communities. Ideally, land is supposed to be owned by government. By “government”, I mean the people of Kenya. We have not added value to our land. In high yield areas, especially agricultural yield, we have subdivided the land into so small portions that it is no longer economically viable. The land is owned by the communities and individuals. They have title deeds but because of inheritance and the use of that land for generations, its agricultural potential has been dwindling."
