    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have a lot of respect for my friend, Hon. Oner, the Member for Rangwe. He has been a debater in this House. This is a House of Debate. What I am saying is my opinion on what the amendment to the land laws before this House proposes to do. They are proposing to deal with the powers that are being set out to be enjoyed by the NLC. The NLC is a constitutional commission. I would like to inform my brother, Hon. Oner that land is one of the core reasons why Kenyans said they need to come up with a new Constitution in this country. When we talk about governance, property or anything in this country, we are talking about ownership of land. The NLC is the vehicle that Kenyans have chosen to entrench the Constitution to deal with matters that deal with our land issues. The NLC under the Constitution is the one that is mandated to deal with renewal, consideration of leases, award of titles and giving out titles. So, when these proposals come up and say casually that leases and other matters shall be considered by other bodies other than the NLC, I posit that we are proposing to amend the Constitution through this rudimentary and basic amendments to the law.
