    "content": "A taskforce was formed under the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development to come up with proposals to be contained in the Bill. The taskforce gave us recommendations. During the Committee of the whole House, we will introduce a lot of those recommendations. There is also the issue as to whether the taskforce Bill was ignored. I would like to report that the taskforce was formed under the guidance of the Ministry. When the Ministry drafted the Bill, they borrowed heavily from the taskforce’s recommendations. Most of the issues that arose were tackled in the taskforce. An example is the definition of “community”. We tried to go back and forth to identify the best way to identify communities. As most of the speakers said, there is need for an in-depth review of the definition of “community”, so that the rightful people can become the owners of community land. As it is rightly said in this Bill, there is the issue of preparing a register. The people living in an area together with the county government are mandated to identify the rightful owners of community land. They have the leeway of going further to engage 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."
