    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another area that I would like Members to note is the proposed amendment to the Land Registration Act, 2012. I think this one is a very good amendment and the reason I want to say that is because we have what we call “the Land Control Act” and I have seen people being fleeced because of this Act. When you buy land and you fail to go to the Land Control Board, the Court of Appeal has set a precedent that your transfer or sale is null and void ab initio; you can only recover the purchase price but you cannot recover the land. As a result of that issue so many poor people and litigants have lost land because of the requirement that you must take every transfer pertaining to land to the Land Control Board. So, to the extent that we want to remove that requirement, I am very happy. I think that is one of the best proposals that are contained in this."
