animals, this person should be given that portion and work on it. Is it an animal that will make use of the land or is it a
person? So, a human being can be able to help the animal, but the animal cannot help a person.
An elephant is good, and is a treasure to the country, but that person who is landless, this young man who is
landless and has no place to go and work, he has no land to go and till, now what is the use of that land? Or what
benefit is the animal getting from that land, whereas this person is being denied that portion of land?
I would like this to be put in the constitution, every young man who is 28 years old, should have a portion of land. This portion
of land could help even a wild animal. Everybody supports the government and therefore the government is there to
protect that person.
Thank you.
