I want to recommend a book he has written to all Members called: Why States Fail. It is a very important book especially to any leader in a growing economy like Kenya. Historically, there is a very clear correlation between land policy and economy growth. I say this because there are so many areas to borrow from. Economic growth is realised when land is liberalised. Any time land is governed in a command system, there seems to be a lot of chocking of the economy. This is because it is a very important factor of production to any private investor."}
