    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motions:- AMENDMENT OF THE REGISTRATION OF PERSONS ACT THAT, taking into consideration the widespread poverty in the country, aware that many Kenyans aged 18 years and above are unable to obtain identity cards due to lack of money, considering that an identity card is a basic requirement for all Kenyans; this House do grant leave to introduce a Bill to amend the Registration of Persons Act in order to allow all Kenyans on attainment of the age of 18 years to be registered without paying any fees, and those who have attained the mandatory age but have not been registered due to financial constraints to be allowed to do so free of charge. ACQUISITION OF LAND OWNED BY ABSENTEE LANDLORDS THAT, in view of the chronic problems of landlessness in the country and especially in the Coast Province; and cognizant of the fact that large tracts of land are owned by absentee landlords, this House urges the Government to urgently take all measures necessary to acquire the said land from absentee landlords and distribute it to squatters already residing within the land and in neighbouring villages. INTRODUCTION OF CASHEWNUT BILL THAT, aware that cashewnut farming is an important farming activity at the Coast, considering the fact that farmers are facing a lot of problems due to the lack of comprehensive legislation to regulate farming, processing and the marketing of the product; cognizant of the fact that farmers continue to destroy cashewnut trees because of low prices and frustrations as a result of infiltration into the industry by unscrupulous middlemen, this House do grant leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament 326 PARLIMENTARY DEBATES April 5, 2006 to be called the Cashewnut Act to streamline the industry and provide economic safeguards to farmers in the region. INTRODUCTION OF COCONUT BILL THAT, aware that coconut tree with its multiple uses has not been fully exploited for the benefit of farmers and the country, considering that the Coconut Industry Act, which was enacted in 1948 and last amended in 1964 is now obsolete and no longer responsive to the economic needs of the people of the region, bearing in mind the need to fully exploit the industry so as to reap maximum benefits for the farmers and the country, this House do grant leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament to repeal the Coconut Industry Act and replace the same with the Coconut Development Act to ensure full exploitation of the coconut tree and its by- products. AMENDMENT OF THE DISTRICTS AND PROVINCES ACT"
