    "content": "With regard to those who practice property law, there are many cases when a conflict arises either on the death of one spouse or during their lifetime. There is always a presumption that if it was a joint tenancy, on the death of any one of them, the benefit of the party who has died may not be survived through another beneficiary or in any other way. There is also another issue I wanted to bring out because it is one of the issues that have been raised by stakeholders and some lawyers. This is in relation to land adjudication processes. It is envisioned that under the new dispensation, we will urge that the land adjudication process be brought to an end so that the Land Adjudication Act is not there for all time. This is a function that necessarily does not have to fall within the Commission. The Commission will only take part in the registration of titles or dealings in disposition of land on registration. However, on the whole adjudication process, it was argued very ably that the answer to it is not to bring the entire process to The National Land Commission. There should be a commitment by the national Government itself to bring the adjudication process to an end and have all land registered as public, community or private land. In conclusion, I will hasten to add that the legislation that relate to community land will be another Bill by itself. That is where many of us should focus because a lot of land in this country will still fall under the category of community land. In conclusion, this is a technical Bill and all the issues that have been raised with regard to this Bill, I believe quite firmly that those views can be accommodated during the Third Reading or during the Committee of the Whole House where we will prepare and present to the House appropriate amendments to this Bill. I, therefore, beg to move and ask my able and learned friend, hon. Mutula Kilonzo, to second."
