    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I support the Bill. Clarity of the laws governing land as a principle factor of revenue generation in any country is of great importance and cannot be over-emphasised. It has been said that the rule of law in the ecosystem of investments is a vital source of progress and sustainability in development. It is very important to look at these laws and continue to progressively assess how they aid the governance of our urban centres in relation to their growth and development of our economy. In this regard, the law must create an environment within which our people can enhance their creativity, flourish and increase their prosperity in building the economy of the nation. The law plays a very important role, especially at this time as we continue to implement and enjoy the fruits of devolution. Some urban centres falling on the boundaries of counties require some clarity of management because they have become sources of conflict between communities that operate in markets and the authorities that are concerned. We have situations where sometimes you never know whether an urban centre falls on one county or the other. As we look at this, we should sort out some of the ambiguities governing the same. By improving our look at our laws pertaining to revenue collection on this area, we are also helping to foster development by strengthening the voices of the people, individually and communally, in terms of when they are required to access justice. When it is made easier for them, it creates some confidence when their rights are violated. With those remarks, I support the Motion.
