    "content": "Committee in coming up with its amendments and looking at the number of titles that are owned by Kenyans who can say that they own part of this country and feel they belong to this country. I do not feel I would be remiss if I said that we have less than 500,000 titled documents of ownership in this country. It is amazing because we have a monumental problem which we keep hiding from. Until we sit down, as a country, and address the question of land ownership in this country, we will never go anywhere. These laws propose to negate the principles that we, the people of Kenya that are superior to this House, have set out in the Constitution of 2010, which says that all matters that concern land shall be dealt with under the National Land Commission (NLC). These amendments are proposing that the membership of that commission shall be constituted in the employment commission in this country. This cannot be the case. We cannot amend the Constitution of this country through such casual amendments to general statutes of this country. If we want to deal with the issue of land, we must go back to the Constitution and ask Kenyans how they want to live in their country. At that time, if Kenyans will be asked that question, I will posit a revolutionary way of thinking about these issues. We must do away with title deeds as it is in this country. The title deed in this country is the biggest problem; the biggest reason why Kenyans fight in this country every time."
