    "content": "It is worth noting that the new Cabinet Secretary (CS) of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development has been formally sworn in. I agree that it will continue to be a challenge. Title deeds are important to our people. They can be used as collateral when taking loans. They can even be used in one way or the other, in either partnerships or cooperative societies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I congratulate Sen. Oyomo for bringing this Statement to the Floor. I have not seen the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. However, I believe that there are a number of Members of the Committee here, who will take up this matter because it is a serious issue. The Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development had undertaken to do digital mapping. We are yet to understand the uses of Global Position System (GPS) and how the mapping has been done. It is very important that as we push for adjudication and titling, the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development must also tell us the progress of GPS mapping. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, land grabbing is common across the country. It is important that to avoid land grabbing, let the rightful owners be given possession and ownership of those lands."
