    "content": "Finally, the Bill proposes to amend the Land Act in order to harmonise it with the Constitution, eliminate overlaps and clarify the mandate of the Ministry and NLC. Right now, it is difficult to implement this Act. The Bill proposes to limit the mandate of the NLC to the management of public land on behalf of the national Government and county governments. It also seeks to limit the policy making powers and other powers of the NLC regarding allocation of public land. The Bill proposes the establishment of a board of trustees to manage the Settlement Scheme Fund. It also proposes a mode of prescribing minimum and maximum private land hoarding acreage pursuant to Article 68(c)(i) of the Constitution. Further, the Bill provides for the manner of undertaking eviction from private, community and public land. Land issues are very emotive in this country. This Bill seeks to put to rest some existing issues. The Constitution mandates the NLC to manage public land. On matters of policy and power, this Bill clarifies who should do what and who has powers. For instance, who has the power to sign title deeds? A number of issues have come up in this country. Banks no longer trust title deeds as security for lending money because of the manner in which the NLC and the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development have handled this issue.
