    "content": "I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the loss of security documents used to print title deeds by the Government Printer. This incident poses a significant threat to the integrity of land ownership documents in our country and could potentially lead to widespread land fraud. The Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development must take immediate and decisive action to address this critical issue. In the statement, the committee should- (1) Explain the actions being taken to recover the stolen security papers used to print title deeds as well as the measures implemented to track and retrieve these documents and prevent their misuse for fraudulent purposes. (2) Present a progress report on the investigation concerning the theft of the said documents, focusing on identifying the individuals and land cartels involved, along with the strategies implemented to strengthen security protocols at the Government Printer and other pertinent institutions to avert similar occurrences in the future. (3) Outline the steps taken by the State Department for Lands and Physical Planning to raise public awareness about the risks associated with land fraud and the importance of verifying the authenticity of title deeds and all other documents related to land registration, including, but not limited to survey plans, mutation forms and deed plans. (4) Appraise the Senate on the Ministry's long-term plans to leverage modern technology while implementing protocols to protect paper title deeds from damage, loss, or theft."
