    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I should say, at the outset, that I oppose the Bill because of the fact that it is unconstitutional. Most of the provisions that have been introduced in the Bill are unconstitutional. Land is a very emotive issue and we have had a very rough time as a country. The Land Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2015 purports to amend the Land Registration Act, 2012, the National Land Commission Act, 2012 and the Land Act, 2012. In fact, what flows through the whole Bill is actually the undermining of the National Land Commission (NLC) from carrying out its constitutional mandate. Registration is supposed to be the work of NLC as per Article 67(2)(c) of the Constitution, but they are trying to amend it to ensure that it is the Cabinet Secretary (CS) who will do that. So, the Bill is actually bringing back the concentration of powers in the hands of the CS, which was removed by the Constitution.
