I hope the current Cabinet Secretary for Land, Housing and Urban Development, Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi, and the Chairperson of the NLC, Mr. Mohammed Swazuri, are under obligation to fulfil their mandate.

This is meant to give a prescription on the matter of minimum and maximum acreage with respect to private land, which was an oversight and was not provided for in the legislation that we did in 2012. It also seeks to amend the three enacted land laws. It is called the Land Laws (Amendment) Bill because we are amending all the three land laws. It deals with the NLC Act, the Lands Act, 2012 and the Land Registration Act, 2012. To address these inconsistencies and overlap of mandate that hindered effective implementation of constitutional provisions relating to land that went through the First Reading, the National Assembly extended the time to 27th August 2016. This is the last extension that we had. The importance of this Bill with regard to amendment of the Land Registration Act, 2012, the NLC Act, 2012 and the Land Act, 2012, which were enacted as required by the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) in order to clarify all these ambiguous issues, led to the stakeholders bringing this piece of legislation. These stakeholders are the NLC, the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development, the private sector players, the Office of the Attorney-General and the Law Reform Commission. I will go through specific clauses to make it The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
