    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion because issues about land are very emotive in Kenya. As you know, land is very scarce. The population increase in this country, but land remains the same size. Therefore, Kenyans who were given land by the former President should be given an opportunity to enjoy their peace and investment in such land. Going forward, we need to strengthen the laws which exist concerning issuing of public land either to individuals or public institutions. That way, we will avoid future conflicts on issues of land. In my area, you will find that there are lands which were earmarked for public utility, but they were taken by other people. There are also lands which were given to institutions which initially belonged to Government. That has brought a lot of issues in my area. To avoid more confusion and conflicts, we need to strengthen the institutions which were put in place to govern land. Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity."
