    "content": "47 counties. People have been talking about loss of money. We have seen serious loss of money because of over-valuation of land. We believe that that Ministry needs to fast-track development of the Land Value Index in the 18 counties that have been identified which I will not read in the interest of time. We need to ensure that the NLC does not take the country for a ride by giving high values. The value of land in these 18 identified counties will be known so that it would be easier to implement Government projects. As I earlier said, the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning is a revenue generating Ministry. That is why we are requesting for proper resourcing of it. I would like to give an example, as I did to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. They were able to register a revenue collection of Ksh6.7 billion against a target of Kshs6.6 billion within Afya. This money was majorly raised through stamp duty. There were also low figures in the other areas due to COVID-19 pandemic. We realised that this Ministry is susceptible to leakages. We have made a recommendation that they ensure that they stop cash collections. I would like to go direct to the matter of resettlement. A settled community would be able to generate money. In the Financial Year 2020/2021, they had budgeted for Kshs180--- with a ceiling of Kshs240--- We always give or argue for the Ministry to get money."
