    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Matters of land are very critical and we know very well that land is a factor of production. It is my humble request that as this Petition is committed to the Departmental Committee on Lands, they must move with speed. We have had a ruling before that Petitions should be prosecuted within 60 days. This is in line with Article 95 of the Constitution, which says that this House deliberates and resolves issues that affect the people. The Members of Parliament who are here are the representatives of the people. So, it is key that as they look at the matters of land, they should also move to other regions, particularly in Trans Nzoia County. We have had land issues there and Petitions have come here but we have not seen Reports coming for purposes of debate. I call upon the Departmental Committee on Lands to move with speed so that we can implement what is resolved."
