    "content": "“In case of an incorporated public entity, the certificate of title shall be issued in the name of that entity.” Even if we have a situation where schools exist, but are not incorporated or limited liability companies, they will benefit from the issuance of this title deed. I am surprised that even a number of the buildings that we own as Parliament, a number of our title deeds are registered in the name of the National Treasury as a trustee for Parliament. I hope we can cash in on this amendment of Clause 12(16) (b). The moment it comes in, we should get our titles as the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) because, under Section 127, the PSC is a legal entity. We should support it, even if it is for the benefit of our institution called Parliament. The moment this law is enacted, we do not need to now leave our title deeds in the custody of the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury. We should get these titles. We can also have our end-of-the-year audit reports reflecting what fixed immovable property we own as an institution and even for our county governments. If you read many of the audit reports that we get from the Auditor- General, he is not able to verify the ownership of a number of projects that are being undertaken by counties. I read an audit report from the County Government of Nyamira and the Auditor- General questioned whether it was prudent use of public resources to build offices for Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) on a piece of land where there is no support of a title deed document to prove that the land is owned by the county government. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that the moment this law is enacted, we can have title deeds issued to all the pieces of land where the offices have been constructed in our 20 wards in Nyamira County, so that we have a good reflection of the assets that are owned by not only the Nyamira county Government but by other counties. Secondly, we hope that the National Land Commission (NLC) will also fastrack the issue of compensating Kenyans who have given away their land for purposes of 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."
