    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to draw the attention of my colleagues, whom I appreciate their contributions to this Bill, to some clarification. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Lands I would like to note that prior to the legislation of the Land (Amendment) Bill, 2015, there was consultation with many stakeholders. I would like to remind my good friend, whom I do not know for what reasons he is not yet the party leader of ODM, that while we were making this Bill, there was a lot of contribution even from the very knowledgeable Members of the ODM movement or religion. I do not know whichever comes first. Again, I would like to say that this Bill, as purported by Members, does not intend to take any powers from the NLC. The NLC is run by Kenyans who need to have checks and balances. That is why if you look at this Bill clearly, you will find that it is trying to solve the mystery that was witnessed in the first two years of the NLC and the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development. If you remember, for a very long time, there were protracted battles between the NLC and the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development over who does what or who is charged with what responsibilities. So, what this Bill is trying to address is what should be done by the NLC, what should be done by the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development and what should be done by the counties. This is because we realised that land is a very emotive issue."
