    "content": "I would briefly want to assure Members of Parliament that, indeed, this is really a technical legislation relating to registration of title deeds and any other disposition of lands that require registration. So to that effect, you would find anything which is out of the ordinary. Essentially what has been done in respect of this statute is to harmonize all the registration system that currently exists. I mentioned in the morning that as a consequence of this Bill, if enacted, several land statutes beginning with the Indian transfer of property Act to the Registered Land Act will stand repealed. Part of the confusion is not just in terms of what is to be done and how it is done. Even terminologies less than one particular regime of law to secure any advancement that is made to an entity and you want to register land as a security. Under one law, it may be called a charge and another law, it is called mortgaged. Even these names are not user friendly. We have used different terminologies, but at the same time really meaning the same thing. So, I did not want to spend a lot of time on this because 100 Members of Parliament had an opportunity to go through these Bills in Mombasa. We actually went through these Bills clause by clause. Part II of the Bill deals with the organization and administration. To that extent, the Commission in consultation with the National and County Governments will establish registration units. Those need not to be at the county level only, but they can cascade to sub-counties and wards, if there is necessity."
