"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to support this Bill with amendments. This Bill is very timely because many people are having issues with land. I am talking about title deeds of schools, churches and markets. Many of the schools and markets have no title deeds. For them to get title deeds is a big issue because as many of us have said, schools and markets have no money or funds to follow and chase title deeds. I bring to the knowledge of this House that I have a market in Machakos County called Mutituni. This land belonged to Mutuma’s family and it was taken by the then County Council, before we got devolution. This family has never been compensated for this land to date and yet, this market was built on their land. The County Council used to collect land rates and rent from the market traders and even right now, Machakos County Government still does. Even as we support this Bill because it is good for the people, people should be compensated and schools and markets be given their title deeds. There are lot of land issues and when we talk of the Ndung’u Land Commission, Njonjo Land Commission and the other land commissions, we know they suggested what needed to be implemented. This has not been done to date. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
