    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think we are safer off without this amendment. Initially, and I agree with the Parliamentary Legal Counsel, the main focus for this amendment was to establish the Commission as a body corporate which, as rightly pointed out under Article 253 of the Constitution, the provisions in relation to incorporation of commissions and independent offices are clearly spelt out. The functions that Dr. Otichilo, with respect, wants to give to the National Land Commission, I think are not being brought to the right legislation. There is going to be another legislation relating to spatial land use planning; it will be better to bring it to that legislation. It does not mean that all the powers of the National Land Commission are contained in the National Land Commission Bill. If you go to the other two Bills, you will find other additional functions. So, I will plead with you – and I know that is where your forte is, spatial planning and land use; that Bill is going to come and we can then put in the functions of the Commission in the right context. So, I will plead with you that the entire amendment be withdrawn."
