    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to second this Bill. Let me thank the Member for Kilifi North for the passionate way he has moved this Bill. I can confirm that we had an opportunity to sit with the Member. We had discussions and robust engagements. We realised that these amendments will go a long way in ensuring that we resuscitate the activities of NLC. The objective of this Bill is to amend Section 14 of the NLC Act to restore the power of the Commission to review the status of public land for propriety and legality. In addition, the Bill seeks to amend Section 15 of the Act to enable the Commission to continue admitting and processing historical land injustice claims, which lapsed on 21st September 2021. The power of the Commission to review grants and process historical land injustices expired, leading to a gap in its mandate. As a result, many historical land injustices and claims remain unsolved due to time limits necessitating the restoration of the Commission's authority in this regard. At the moment, the National Land Commission is unable to process some of the cases that have been reported to it simply because of time limits. What is being proposed here is a continuation and sustainability of those very emotive aspects of injustices. The Bill underwent its First Reading on Wednesday, 27th September 2023, and it was subjected to public participation in accordance with the constitutional requirements and our Standing Orders.
