    "content": "We would also be interested to look at the cost and pricing of land in this country. Today, if my friend Hon. T. J. Kajwang’ wants to start a school in his constituency, he would pay billions of shillings to acquire probably five acres of land. Why? The cost of land in this country has gone through the roof top. We need to bring the Land Value Index Bill as soon as possible to the House so that it is passed to regulate the cost of land especially when it comes to acquiring land for institutions. Without doing that, in the future, Nairobi may not be able to develop even one new primary or secondary school because of the exorbitant prices that are associated with land in the country. Prices of land in the country have brought down development. For you to acquire land, like we have seen with the SGR, you need to have more money to purchase land than the money you need for the project. This is what is happening. You realise that in future, we will not have public schools because of lack of space for development."
