    "content": "Therefore, it is truly important to say that this policy is long overdue, as my colleagues are saying. I believe this policy will solve quite a number of fundamental issues in this country. The population of this country is increasing. During the census of 1999, the population of this country was around 33 million while in 2009, it was 38 million. The projection for 2019 is 48 million. Thus, it indeed, affects land in terms of land use and so forth. Having gone through this Sessional Paper, I realise that for some of us who come from pastoral areas, it will solve a number of issues. When you look at the migration corridors, for some of us who come from areas that are near national reserves, you realise that they have been affected and this Sessional Paper will create some room for us to have the migration corridors for the purposes of wild animals. I have also looked at it and I realise that in terms of rangelands, as it was said by my friend, Hon. Rasso, this Sessional Paper will address the issue of rangelands. I believe that as we move forward, land issues and the so-called land question will help this nation to move forward economically. This particular Sessional Paper will address a number of issues, whether the land is urban or rural. I believe the Sessional Paper will move this country forward. In terms of the economic aspect, the land as a factor of production will propel this nation forward. Hon. Speaker, I support the Motion."
