    "content": "I agree with the Member that even though those matters are before the courts and investigatory agencies of the Government, this House has a role to play to maintain the sanctity of ownership of land in this country. It is not the courts only that should do that. We represent the interest of the people of this country. So, if peasant farmers are deprived of their rights in Kiambu County, the same thing will happen to peasant farmers in Migori. I support the Petition. Anybody who has lengthy contribution to make like Hon. Ichung’wah should appear before the Committee. We need to discuss land in this House. I will take the responsibility to bring a Motion for Adjournment to discuss how we will face the land issues. The Chairman of NLC is accused of many things every day. He is in the news every day for the wrong reasons like railway plots and others. As a House, we must come to terms that we have to address this issue of land once and for all."
