"content": "This is a very important constitutional Bill. It is a Bill anticipated by Article 66(1) of the Constitution and this House is obligated to enact it. This Bill creates a clear forum in which physical planning in Kenya can be carried out. It creates functions and powers of institutions that will be important in carrying out physical planning activity. It specifies which development plans need to be prepared and at which level of Government and which ones are supposed to be created by the county government, the national Government and a group of counties together with the national Government. It specifies the national physical development plan, which is supposed to be an integration of all county development plans, obeying the principles of land as set out under Article 60 of the Constitution. It talks about the regional physical development plans, which could be resource-based or basin-based development plans. I would imagine something like the Lake Basin Regional Development Plan. It talks about county physical development plans for each county and special area plans which could be done by individual county governments or by a regional body covering many counties. I would imagine that when you are planning for a project like the LAPSSET, you would not have one county being in charge of it. It is a special area that is going to cover very many counties. Therefore, this requires that the national Government teams up with the various counties in carrying out the planning."
