    "content": "The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry is trying their best in terms of making sure that the environment is well taken care of. However, sometimes you find also the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development grabbing public land. To an extent that you find a lot of complaints on land grabbing. That is why you find Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) across the country because of the misunderstanding between the two Ministries. These are the Government ministries, which are supposed to coordinate, so that whenever they are issuing title deeds it is based on a well-researched point of view. This will make sure that these complications are not brought forth to an extent that it affects the environment. Most of the degradation that has been done is because of lack of coordination between the ministries. I suggest that if there is any amendment that has to be done, there should be a coordination between the relevant ministries, so that these issues that have been affecting us in terms of evictions are put to an end. I support the hon. Member for the amendment that he has brought. Despite the fact that we have the Bill and all these amendments, we need to also have the resources. The resources enable the county and the national Governments to make sure that the already identified public land is well-fenced and they are able to coordinate together with the people or the residents of those particular areas. I support this Bill and looking forward to it being approved by this House and then to the next. I thank you."
