    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to join my colleagues on this Motion. I would also like to take this opportunity to applaud the work of Hon. Caleb in bringing a Motion which is progressive to the nation especially in matters of land. It is true that failure to have proper policies in terms of management of land is bad. We do not have sustainable measures in terms of land management in the country. Kenyan institutions, especially in education are under threat from land grabbers and other people who pretend they are land developers. We have seen cases where school land has been grabbed. We have also seen cases where school land… Many schools get their land through donations from well-wishers, sponsorship churches or from individuals. The people who donate land come to realise that the land has appreciated and so they seek compensation from the same schools. It is true many of our institutions do not have title deeds. This is caused by failure to have proper policies and guidelines in terms of management of the institutions especially in matters of land. This Motion should not be like other motions of just being debated in this important House without being implemented. If we want our people to have a good compound for education, we must have space. Many of our schools are only one to four acres. The schools have high population. Everybody is crying for development of schools but there is no land to build on. The neighbours also do not have land. It is now a cry for the whole nation, and the Government must think about how these institutions can get land. In Kangundo where I come from, land is small and population is very high. So we have institutions with one or two acres. They need to be expanded. I have resources for a class or two, but there is no land. When we have organised policies which will give guidelines on how to get land, it will be easier. It is not easy to tell people to migrate so that you can build a school. We look up to the Government to bring guidelines and funds to acquire more land for our institutions. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion."
