    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairperson, that is a progressive amendment and we need to support it. But let me go back to the gist of the amendments in totality. I am not so sure whether the National Land Commission has reported that it was unable to complete the review process as contemplated in the original Act, but that is now water under the bridge. He has raised a fairly good idea. But what happens to that person who does not know the indolent? In equity, we do not wake up a sleeping dog. What happens? He has proposed the word “any” but the amendment by the Committee has the word “all”. It means that all the grants and the disposition that has been made will be reviewed. Again, a time frame is not given. They can take 100 or 300 years. We need more clarity. After how long? It is not fair for one to be given a title and nobody objects, he invests to improve the property and then somebody comes and makes a claim. Is that claim limited by the statute of limitation of 12 years? Or does it exclude that limitation of action so that we leave it open completely throughout? We need that clarity. As I always say, when we are making laws, we must be sticklers to the details to avoid a situation where too much room is left to interpret the law as there are many lawyers in the House. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman."
