    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate the opportunity you have given me. I have some matters that I want to bring to the attention of the House with regard to the concern that has been raised by Hon. Atandi on NLC. He has alluded to the fact that the Committee that oversees NLC needs to up its game in terms of oversight because there is too much backlog on the table that is supposed to be tackled by NLC. As the Chairperson of the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee, I appreciate that we have had a meeting with NLC to understand the predicaments that hinder the process of implementation of their work. I must confess that this is a Commission that is very confused because they do not know where they are supposed to be reporting to. The other day they were requested to be reporting to the Office of the President on activities that surround compensation of land. So, this is an issue that needs to be given some special attention because the confusion will further delay the workload that Members in this House are complaining about. The confusion will affect compensation for land in preparation for implementation of national government programmes. I wish to defend NLC because I know the confusion is one of the contributors to their not being able to execute their mandate as they ought to. Additionally, because they are not allocated ample budget, they have a problem and they are not able to meet the expectations of Kenyans, especially when it comes to decentralisation of their services. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
