    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition and note that the Committee to which you have referred the Petition should generally, in their own time, look at the issue of public institutions where people donate land. This is happening all over the country where 30 years later, people come up with such matters. They could have legitimate claims sometimes, but sometimes people want to get back what they already gave out freely. So, this Committee should get to the bottom of those kinds of matters. Just as an example, throughout the country, we have primary schools and secondary schools and we are now putting up colleges and universities. People are coming up 40 years later, saying: “My father gave out this land. It was not consented to. We need our land back.” So, I would like the Committee, after dealing with this Petition, to generally look into ways of dealing with public institutions where land was donated under those kinds of claims so that we do not have so many petitions coming to Parliament when those matters can be addressed through a single policy instrument. Thank you very much."
