    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the land question is very sensitive, and a ticking time bomb. Over the years, Kenya has experienced violent intercommunity clashes because of unresolved land issues. Most communities that share a boundary are always fighting; although in the disguise of politics, but it is because of land. It does not need any special knowledge to connect every other post-election violence in Kenya with evictions of one community by the other. It is a fact that a majority of Kenyans occupy land on the strength of allotment letters and sale agreements. Most families have not done succession of land, and this confusion needs to be corrected. The NLC, the Ministry of Lands and the Department of Physical Planning should streamline the process of acquiring title deeds and remove corrupt officials from their offices. We need to agree that the leadership that came before us never conclusively solved the land dilemma since Independence, and we need a solution urgently. We are moving closer to the General Elections of 2022, and if we are not careful, the current small fires on land will develop to an inferno that will consume all of us. I beg to move."
