    "content": "From the outset, I would like to say categorically that I oppose the adoption of this Report, because issues of land in this republic are emotive. Therefore, each time we are dealing with land issues, we must employ absolute abundance of caution lest we send this country to the drains. We do not wish to see that. Stemming from the issues of land and the incoherent complexities around it, we have seen the Ndung’u Land Report gathering dust to date in some shelves without publicising it for general public. So, we must be very careful every time we are looking at land issues. In the record of historical injustices that have been meted onto this country and the general populace, land becomes an integral part of historical injustices. The very reason each time land becomes a subject matter, then we have to tread carefully. The question that we are asking is why the buyer is offloading the land and what the underlying issues are surrounding this parcel of land within Narok County. From the Report, the Committee acknowledges that certain concerns were raised in the course of the interrogation, but at the same time, they recommend a full process of acquisition. Once questions have been raised about ownership of land, that is a red flag. Therefore, we have to step back and reflect and retool before we move forward with the sale agenda."
