    "content": " I will be concluding my speech in two minutes because it is something that we have discussed with the hon. Member. On the fourth and fifth lines I propose that we delete all the words between the word \"to\" and \"public\" and insert the words \"with immediate effect, process titles\" in place thereof. On the last line delete the word \"rural\" and insert the words \"only to be collected upon payment of appropriate Government fees\" after the word \"Kenya\" as appearing on the last line. The Motion therefore, will read as follows:- 1044 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 2, 2007 THAT, in view of the Government policy that all Government institutions acquire title documents for the land upon which they are erected; and considering that these titles attract fees from the Department of Lands and other Government departments; this House urges the Government to with immediate effect, process titles for public primary and secondary schools, public dispensaries, health centres, hospitals, village polytechnics and other public facilities in Kenya, only to be collected upon payment of appropriate Government fees. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the intention of these amendments is to make sure that after this Motion is passed the Ministry will instruct all registries in the country to prepare title deeds for all public utilities upon application, but those titles will be kept in the registries until the appropriate fees are paid meaning that nobody else can subsequently grab that public utility because the public utility will have a title deed. That will help us in terms of the appropriations we need for the time being, until such a time as this money will be provided for in the budget and therefore, we can even go a step further and waive the fees. Before titles are collected, we shall have secured the public utilities by making sure that titles are processed immediately and, therefore nobody else can come and claim them. With that amendment I fully support this noble Motion. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
