    "content": "Along that line, under Section 159 of the Land Act, 2012, which we did in the 10th Parliament, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development was under obligation and required to commission a scientific study. This was to do a determination of the economic viability of what we call minimum and maximum acreage of land in respect of private land for various land zones in the country. This is where I earlier said it is a very important piece of legislation because this House has to make a determination on what is maximum or minimum acreage of land that a private sector player can hold in relation to various land zones. There are certain sections of our country where land is plenty and you can talk about ownership of maximum acreage. There are other sections where the minimum is what only exists. For example, in Kisii, you cannot talk of maximum, you can only talk of the minimum. This House must speak to that. There are parts of this country where you can still own thousands of acres of land. This piece of legislation is very fundamental. I hope in the next two House sessions, we will not rush it. We want people to debate it, so that we make a sober, informed and constructive decision in the interest of the citizens that we represent.
