    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this Bill. This Bill seeks to amend the Land Registration Act, the Land Act and the National Land Commission Act. There are a few speakers who have talked about mutilation of the Bill. Someone said that we are dishing away the powers of the NLC to the CS for Lands, Housing and Urban Development. I would like to say that land, as a factor of production, is meant to bring prosperity, cohesion, peace and security. It is where we anchor all our development. This amendment has been necessitated by various laws that have been in place for a period of time. We are trying to engage the Land Act and the Land Registration Act vis-a-vis the Constitution. According to some of us who are Members of the Departmental Committee on Lands, we had a lot of difficulties even dealing with the National Lands Commission (NLC) and the Ministry when it came to very simple matters such as the issuance of titles."
