    "content": "forests. This amendment targets parts of forests which had already been degazzetted through due process but titles have not been issued. I will give an example of my own constituency. We have two schools whose land has been degazetted but titles have not been issued. These are Ainabkoi and Soliat Secondary Schools. Also, the new Kenya School of Agriculture has been constructed in a forest. The Government has spent money. So, we are saying that where land has been degazetted and due process has been undertaken for public use and not for private use, titles should be issued. Private use is a totally separate question. Degazettement for private use should never be allowed. Private individuals should not be given land. We are aware of many constituencies where schools were degazetted but they have not obtained titles because of their indolence or for other reasons. So, if this Bill is passed in the manner it is without taking care of those private institutions, it will mean that we will have spent money in the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) to construct schools in forests. So, it is important that those parts that we have schools and hospitals be removed. This should not be for private use but for public use. Public use is very clear. It is what is used by the public and not what is used by a private person. I thank you."
