    "content": "In summary, this Bill tries to put some of those issues and conflicts to rest. As a Committee, we engaged a lot of stakeholders. They brought their proposed amendments, a majority of which we have carried. According to our Report, about 27 stakeholders presented memoranda to the Committee in terms of what they proposed to be amended. We had proposals from the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives because they were the Ministries that were given the mandate to look into the question of maximum and minimum acreages. So, they presented their findings and proposals. We had comments from the NLC whom we had invited and they listed some of the issues that they raised with the Bill. One of the challenges that the NLC raised is that they had earlier developed a comprehensive Historical Injustices Bill that was summarised and included in this Bill. They had an issue with that and with the establishment of county boards. We had input from the Council of Governors (CoG), Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), Institute of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK), Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), Land Development and Governance Institute (LDGI), Kenya Land Alliance (KLA), Kenya Forest Research Institute (KEFRI) and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). We received memoranda from the Ashitawa and Company Advocates and Sirikwa Peace Society Initiative (SPSI). As you can see, this Bill raised a lot of interest. I concur with Hon. Duale that these Bills need time and consideration and I ask all the Members to look at them. When we sat as a Committee, we came up with amendments as advised by the various stakeholders. I encourage Members to look forward to the amendment stage, so that all the input can be captured as raised by the various stakeholders. With those few remarks, I second and support the Bill."
