"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank the Mover of this Motion. I rise to support this Motion 100 per cent, reason being that I have always had this notion that north eastern will be the area that is going to assist Kenya to become a developed society for several reasons. First, when it comes to the issue of land as a factor of production, land can only be irrationally exploited where it is in abundance. We do not have any other place where we have land in abundance like the north eastern region. About 70 per cent of land mass in this county is in the northern region. For instance, we have now the so-called the Big Four Agenda. One of the pillars of the Big Four Agenda is the housing problem. If you wanted, for instance, to urbanize - we all know urbanization is one of the key ingredients for a modern society - we can only urge the Government to build more houses and urbanize the entire region of north eastern. This is because people there do not have small titles which hinder the whole idea of bringing people together and urbanizing. Therefore, the northern region is the region that is going to help Kenya move forward. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
