    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended by— (a) deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph: (b) deleting subsection (14) and substituting therefore the following new subsections— (14) (1) The Commission shall complete an investigation under subsection (10) within six months. (2) The Commission may submit to the National Assembly, a request to extend time for a period that does not exceed six months, where the Commission does not complete an investigation under paragraph (1). (3) The National Assembly may only approve a request under subsection (2) once. (15) The Commission shall, in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary, publish regulations to operationalize this section within six months of enacting this Act. The purpose of this amendment is that when a person has a claim of a historical land injustice, then that particular claim has a definite time in which investigations and hearings are conducted. I propose that a claim should be heard within a period of six months. If it is not completed, the Commission shall seek extension of time by six months. The period comes to one year under which a historical land claim can be heard, determined and disposed of by the NLC. The purpose is to limit the hearing of a claim of a historical land injustice to six months."
