    "content": "There are certain sections of our country where land is plenty and you can talk about ownership of maximum acreage. There are other sections where the minimum is what only exists. For example, in Kisii, you cannot talk of maximum, you can only talk of the minimum. This House must speak to that. There are parts of this country where you can still own thousands of acres of land. This piece of legislation is very fundamental. I hope in the next two House sessions, we will not rush it. We want people to debate it, so that we make a sober, informed and constructive decision in the interest of the citizens that we represent. This Bill also deals with historical land injustices, another very emotive matter. The Land Registration Act, 2012, the NLC Act, 2012 and the Land Act, 2012, were enacted as required by the Constitution in the 10th Parliament. The laws were enacted and created a lot of inconsistency. The provisions created inconsistencies and some of them created overlaps between the functions of the NLC and those of the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development. Their mandates were overlapping. The three Acts of Parliament have resulted in difficulties in the implementation of the Land Registration Act, 2012, the Land Commission Act, 2012, and the Land Act. I am sure every citizen and Member is alive to the many squabbles we witnessed in the last three years between the leadership of the NLC on one hand and the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development."
