    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very progressive and important Bill. From the outset, I congratulate my brother, Hon. (Dr) Oundo, for coming up with this Bill. As it has been said by many speakers, the issues of land in this country are very emotive. The word, ‘‘land’’ means different things to different communities. Currently, the Land Control Boards are dysfunctional. They have been a root cause of corruption and insecurity in this country because they are so much riddled with corruption. The amendment as proposed by the Member will go a long way to try and streamline such issues, especially in communities where illiteracy is high. Members of the board have what they call, ‘‘Special sittings.’’ This is where they transact business and give consent at night and even on weekends. This Bill should be able to help the country secure food security, as it also aims to streamline the issue of zoning so that agricultural land remains for the main purpose. I consider this a very progressive Bill, and we should support it as a House and country. I support."
