The reason this instrument became a constitutional concern is because of the people who were waiting for this Constitution. Now that we have this breakthrough, we should quickly have a roadmap to take us there because this is where Kenyans are waiting to go. We should be thinking about how much land one can own, especially when you are not using it. How much can an individual or an institution own? This situation of landlessness is even causing problems in schools. Many schools in my constituency do not have title deeds to the land they have. It is only the fence that shows their land and we have people who are claiming this land after 60 or 70 years. We need to deal with that issue. Without a roadmap to show that the NLC has some timelines within which to settle issues of community and institutions’ land and put these issues to rest we will be sitting on a time bomb. In dealing with these land issues, we need to put into consideration the fact that development is based on land. For example, in my constituency, schools cannot expand even as the population is growing because of landlessness. Any time you attempt to buy land, it is a very hard task. The prices go up and it is quite impossible to access land. We need to deal with those issues."
