    "content": "Secondly, the NLC has been devolved to the counties. That is a good step forward. I come from Kwanza, Trans Nzoia, in the Rift Valley, where there are many land issues. The Committee has come to my place and has witnessed cases where we have a lot of noise on the issue. It is good to devolve the land issue instead of coming to Nairobi, which is very expensive, especially for the old and poor Kenyans. In the rural areas, there are old men in their sunset days who want to leave their land in clear way. Their days are numbered and they do not want to die before solving their land issues. You will find a man of 70 or 80 years coming to Nairobi to check on his land status. It is good we have devolved the NLC to the counties. I hope we are not devolving corruption because that is what happens. I had a word with the Chairman in Trans Nzoia, where you find a very different story. The point of reference is the Member of Parliament. Very early in the morning, you find old men coming to the Member of Parliament with all sorts of complaints. Some complain about somebody saying leta kitu kidogo, so that they can assist you. They basically want to reap from where they have not sown, which is not good.
