    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Chair for attempting to answer the question. However, I would like to ask for clarification from the Committee of this House as to the meaning of Article 67(2)(c). Has the Committee considered the meaning of this article which provides that the National Land Commission shall advise the National Government on a comprehensive programme for the registration of title in land throughout Kenya? I am asking this because debate has been going on round the country on whether it is the Cabinet Secretary or the National Land Commission who does the registration. The Constitution, for the time being, completely excludes the National Land Commission from registration because it has been given the responsibility under that section to advise the National Government on how to carry out registration. If that interpretation is correct, then is there need for an amendment to an Act of Parliament to provide a framework within which Government officials including the Ministry can do the registration and the National Land Commission provide advice as provided for in the Constitution? I will be happy to see that happen because it will clear the debate we are seeing between the Cabinet Secretary and the National Land Commission particularly when it comes to registration. This is because the Constitution excludes registration from the National Land Commission."
