    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my task is a little easier because over the last 60 days, the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources has convened several working sessions and gone to various parts of this country to talk to people and stakeholders. As a consequence of that engagement, they held a session in Mombasa about a week ago which I attended. We literary went through, not only the Land Bill, but also The National Land Commission Bill and The Land Registration Bill. I think there was a broad consensus reached on the content of all these Bills. I believe that at the Committee Stage, the House will have an opportunity to engage more effectively and decisively on the issues or content of all three Bills, including The Land Bill. But, I would like to say right from the outset that in those engagements in which the Members of the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources were doing this work--- That engaged several experts and important constitutional bodies, that is, the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution, the Law Reform Commission and also the Office of the Attorney General. So, largely, the report that has been given by the Chair of that Committee which was tabled in this House, truly reflects those deliberations. Their deliberations have not been confined to the debate during the Second Reading, but the more practical work that we shall undertake during the Third Reading or when the House will be in the Committee Stage."
