    "content": "This Bill is coming up with a mechanism of ensuring that a community can register a community trust which can hold land in their trust. The community has been given power to decide on how their land can be used and when it can be used. However, there are some issues I would like to point out on the same Bill – the issue of checks and balances. In the Group Ranches Act, group ranches officials used to buy off the community members’ shares. Community officials or group ranches officials, like in the famous Shompole Nguruman Group Ranch buy off shares from other members and sell the community land alone. So, there is need for checks and balances to be put in place to make sure that the community assemblies that will be formed to hold trust on behalf of the community land are checked most of the time, so that they do not sell land on behalf of the community."
