    "content": "We have also a bigger problem because there is an animal we created called the National Land Commission (NLC) that has turned out to be an avenue for mega corruption. In some cases, they do not want to pay people whose land is acquired by the Government because they ask for kickbacks. They make the value of land so high that it does not make economic sense to undertake some projects. We need to address the issue of corruption within the NLC. There have been cases where land is surrendered for particular Government projects, but the NLC turns back and purports to compensate people over public land that is surrendered. We also have the issue of respect for freehold titles. Sometimes people are forced to surrender their freehold titles which are converted to leasehold ones. There are a number of issues that touch on property rights which are protected by our Constitution. I hope that when the Committee retires to look at this issue, it will consider all the issues and give us a solution that will be beneficial to Kenyans across the country."
