    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why we came up with the proposed Constitution that is to become law any time is because of abuse of power, whereby a gentleman could wake up in the morning and decide the Yala Swamp should be acquired by Koskei and a title deed is issued. Since we have now been empowered, we are going to repossess all those illegally acquired wetlands. If you look at the new Constitution which is waiting promulgation by His Excellency the President to become law, Section 67 is now very clear that there is established the Land Commission. Section 67(e) of that law gives the Commission power on its own motion to start investigation or through complaints like the one you are making right now, investigate and take appropriate measures. One of the measures is to make sure that we acquire such land compulsorily. We are not only waiting for the Constitution to become law but we are already acting on this. We want to say that no Kenyan will be allowed to endanger other Kenyans because by encroaching on those areas, you are endangering the lives of other Kenyans."
