    "content": "This is an important Bill. It is trying to bring the gains, opportunities and hopes in our Constitution. I represent Kibra Constituency and, as it has already been said by several Members, the definition of who can be an owner of community land and registered group will matter very importantly. A lot of debate has focused on the interests of people in pastoral and rural areas, but very little has been contributed in this debate on the interests and realities of communities that live in urban areas such as the Nubian people of Kibra Constituency; for whom the question of community land is important. When we first came to this Parliament, I asked about the interests of the Nubian people on the community land in Kibra. While there was a political goodwill to resolve the issue and grant them their rights and a sense of justice when it comes to ownership of land in Kibra, it was not clear under what legal framework. The law under which the title to be granted by the Government and who the owners would be at that point was not clear. I am happy that we have reached a place where we can set a proper legal framework for the Nubian people and other people living within Kibra to know the framework under which that land can be given to the Nubians and the protection for the non-Nubians who live there.
