    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, allow me to proceed. Land issues in this country are very critical. Unless we handle them carefully, especially now that most land issues are being dealt with by the counties, some people might take advantage of matters to do with land and indigenize them. Land will be regarded to belong to particular communities in some areas, when they sell to other communities. I would like to contribute and say that issues of land are critical in this country. It is a fact that we are among the poorest countries with regard to planning on land use. Up to this time, establishing some public facilities is becoming a challenge, yet some years back we had land in various places where the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) farms were being dished out. To date, people are not ready to surrender some pieces of land for public use. It is high time that this House relooked at matters to do with land seriously, so that we come up with a better framework, particularly on land use in this country. That is my contribution. I thank you."
