    "content": "I support this Bill because it proposes ways of reducing misuse of community land. If communities could be sensitised to come together, register community land and be given the right to manage, protect and use their land, there will be sanity in terms of how community land is used. There are cases where community land has been misused by powerful individuals within some communities, as well as by the previous local authorities and the national Government. We have cases, especially in Kajiado and Narok, where the Government picked community land for a certain project. When the project wound up, the ownership of the land did not revert back to the community. We also have cases where group ranch officials come together and take over community land and misuse it."
