    "content": "As Hon. Duale said, there are a lot of Acts that are not consistent. He has mentioned the Land Registration Act, the NLC Act and the Land Act, which were enacted as required for the implementation of the Constitution. He was alluding to the fact that in the 10th Parliament, we passed these Acts which were intended to clarify the roles and mandates of the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development and the NLC. The Bill proposes to rectify inconsistencies and overlaps of mandates in the land laws that have resulted in difficulties in the implementation of the Land Registration Act, the NLC Act and the Land Act. Hon. Duale mentioned that the proposals in those clauses seek to rectify all the inconsistencies, rectify them and remove overlapping of mandates. This House is aware of the constant bickering between the NLC and the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development. Although the Constitution tries to clarify that, this House is aware of the stalemate that has been happening in terms of registration of land and who should do what. As I said, the Bill has 109 Clauses, which are amendments to the Land Registration Act, the NLC Act and the Land Act. I want to speak briefly on the three Acts. Why are amendments introduced to the Land Registration Act? This Bill proposes to amend the Land Registration Act to bring clarity on the mandate of the NLC and the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development. As I said, this is intended to eliminate the overlap of mandates that has caused conflict. The amendments will remove duplication of roles in terms of matters relating to registration. Who should register land? Where does the process begin? Who does what in regard 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."
