    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, land is an emotive issue that should be handled carefully. I have been following the issue of Isiolo for a couple of days. It is sad that the county commissioner is on a collision path with Members of Parliament (MPs) or the leadership from Isiolo County. We expected the county commissioner to engage more constructively and ensure that this land issue is resolved in a good and honest way. The ministries of Lands and Physical Planning and that of Environment and Natural Resources should take the lead in ensuring that the rights of the people of Isiolo are protected. The law is clear with regard to the principles of land policy; Article 60(b) is on security of land rights. Classification of land has been provided for under Article 61, for example, on whether it is public, community or private land. The law is clear on the aspect of changing private or community to be used, and vice versa . The law has also provided for compulsory acquisition. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning must ensure that the land rights of the people of Isiolo are protected."
