    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman I have followed what Hon. Oundo, our good Professor of planning, has said. Yes, there have been those questions. The answer to those questions lies in the Constitution. I invite him to look at what Article 67(2)(e) of the Constitution provides. It provides that to initiate investigations, on its own initiative or on a complaint, into present or historical land injustices, the word “present” cannot be limited to a certain framework of time. Therefore, to put a limitation on the Constitution through a statute by saying that we only limit it to five years or ten years or 20 years, is defeating the letter and spirit of the Constitution. Therefore, I would like to invite Hon. Oundo to look at it from the prism of the Constitution and agree that we need to do away with the time frame. That is because the Constitution does not envisage a time frame for historical land injustices of the present and of the past."
