    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this important Bill that every Kenyan has been awaiting for, for the last 50 years. I want to thank Parliament for unlocking the issue of community land. This Bill provides for a legislative framework to give effect to Article 63 of the Constitution. It also provides the recognition, protection, management and administration of community land. The Bill proposes an institutional framework through which community land shall be owned, registered, managed and administered. The definition of “community” in this Bill is interesting. I hope that as we move on as a country, we will never try to interpret it the way we interpret issues, depending on how we see them. It states that:- “‘Community’ means a consciously distinct and organized group of users of community land who are citizens of Kenya and share any of the following attributes- (a) common ancestry; (b) similar culture or unique mode of livelihood; (c) socio-economic or other similar common interests; (d) geographical space; (e) ecological space; or (f) ethnicity”"
