    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the current law, which is the Land Acquisition Act, there are no similar provisions. The Commissioner of Lands and the Minister for Lands merely act as agencies for an entity in Government to acquire compulsorily, and the determination is for me particularly as the Minister for Lands. So, when it comes to my desk, the only determination that I am required to make in law is that money is available for that acquisition. But I think this now puts an extra responsibility in the spirit of accountability of ensuring that public land is not given away as gifts or objects of showing patronage and all that. Those provisions are there in Part VII and I invite my colleagues to look at it. Again, there are provisions of what happens when there is a withdrawal in the acquisition. That is all set out."
