    "content": "Clause 9 of the Bill lays down the functions of the Land Control Committee. To avoid wasting time, I will just pick a few, probably the ones carried over from the old Bill and reorganised to meet the provision of the Constitution. One is to review and grant consent to any sale, charge, transfer, grant, exchange for value or no value, lease, assignment, grant of easement, or right of way in relation to agricultural land. We are also proposing the committee to review any dealings in land referred to it by the Chief Registrar. It will also settle any land dispute referred to it by willing parties, pursuant to Article 60 and 159(2) of the Constitution of Kenya. If you go to any court registry, there are so many pending court cases because of land issues. We are saying it is possible to resolve the cases with local knowledge. Many of the disputes could be so mundane that they require local solutions. That is why we are saying before parties to any dispute over land go to court they could easily walk to the Committee and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
