"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Bill by Hon. Oundo. It proposes the establishment of a Land Control Committee in each constituency to replace the current Land Control Board. Hon. Oundo has proposed that the Land Control Committee will come from the local people who are very conversant with the traditions, customs and way of life of the community in that area. This will enable each proposed transaction to be reviewed soberly within the set-up of the community, especially the proposal on transactional and utilisation of agricultural land, which is well known and can be managed by the local community. The Bill further proposes the establishment of Land Control Appeals Committees which will handle any appeals emanating from the Land Control Committee. I support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": "Kikuyu, UDA): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. In just a minute as I had requested in the interest of time, I support this Bill. I thank Hon. Oundo because the Land Control Boards are centres of corruption in all our sub-counties and county headquarters. The Deputy County Commissioners (DCC) and Sub-County Administrators or National Government Administration Officers (NGAO) have a very huge leeway in the appointment of the members of Land Control Boards. As Hon. Sabina Chege said, we find situations across the country where agricultural land is transferred without due regard to restrictions. In the areas where we come from land has been subdivided. It started with 50 by 100 to 40 by 80 and now it is 30 by 66. All this is happening under the purview of the land control boards. I want to support the proposals in the Bill that the Land Control Committees should work very well to stem out the culture of corruption at the land control boards. They should appoint the local people who understand the area. This is because I have seen Deputy County Commissioners (DCCs) appointing people who have conflict of interest to the land control boards. We have very many surveyors and land brokers who sit in those land control boards. I know under the current regulations the constituency offices nominate two people, but the improved version proposed by Hon. Wilberforce Oundo is much better. Therefore, I support."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Wilberforce Oundo for this very progressive Bill. Lawyers in this country will celebrate. If you look at the Land Control Act passed in 1967 it has many piecemeal amendments. This is progressive because it is aligning the Bill with the Constitution, the Land Registration Act, the Environment and Land Court Act of 2011, the National Land Commission Act and other legislations. This Bill will regulate consents on matters to do with subdivision and transfer of land. In my opinion, this will bring sanity to the land regime in this country. I want to say two things. One, if you look at Clause 9 a function of the board is to resolve any dispute over general boundaries within their jurisdiction. This is now very clear under the law. Two, the board should settle any land dispute referred to it by willing parties, pursuant to Articles 60(1)(g) and"
