    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to debate on this issue. It was a very heated issue. I thank the House Business Committee (HBC) for bringing it on board. However, looking at the Reports we have dealt with, I know there are many other Reports that deserved to come earlier. I think that the urgency to bring the matter forward came due to the agitation and also politics. It also took Members of Parliament on board. The proof of sanctity of title lies squarely with the registration entity. In this case, it is the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. They are the custodians of all the records. As a valuer, whenever you are called upon to prove ownership, the furthest you can go for proof of ownership is the Registry for Land. Therefore, questioning the sanctity of the document we are getting from the Ministry raises a big question. To start with, when we did our last Budget, there was a critical issue on the functions of the National Land Commission and the Ministry itself. We had said that we wanted to determine the actual functions, so that the fight between the Ministry and the NLC could come to an end. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, looking at the chronology of the transactions on this land, you can actually see that the preparation for subdivision started quite early in 2009 through to 2013. At the time even this Parliament had not been convened. So, on the issue of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
