    "content": "Land, as the main economic factor through which our economy grows, needs to be looked at. In Kisii, where I come from, a person who owns one acre of land is rich. Currently, people own a quarter of an acre and we are unable to sustain lives. However, if you go to other parts of the country, like the Coast Region, you will find absentee landlords with land that has been idle for years. It is, therefore, upon this House to come up with some guidelines or laws so that idle land can be repossessed by the Government and given to the landless people, for example, those from Kisii who are ready to farm, but have no land. So, if we come up with policies, we will be able to get the idle land and give it to the landless. Our economy relies purely on land. Our livelihoods depend on land."
