    "content": "This Sessional Paper outlines what should be done in urban areas and rural areas, and the extent to which you can work on land once you acquire it. We have destroyed the forest cover, which is the issue being addressed here. We have been overgrazing our land, especially by pastoralists. We have been over-cultivating land. After some time, you find that the land cannot benefit the people using it. Humans have put themselves in the forefront to destroy forest cover. When we do quarrying or exploit minerals, we do not even cover dams and mines. They end up becoming disaster holes apart from being hazardous to the environment. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) should adopt this Sessional Paper and put it into proper use so that at least we can avoid some of the disasters we create. People started acquiring land since the colonial days. There are many Kenyans who do not have land because some foreigners came into the country and acquired big chunks of land.
