    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 37 of the Bill be amended− (a) by inserting the words “Subject to any other relevant written law” at the beginning of the opening sentence; (b) by renumbering the existing clause as sub-clause (1); (c) by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (1)− “(2) An agreement relating to investment in community land shall only be made between the investor and the community. (3) No agreement between an investor and the community shall be valid unless it is approved by two-thirds of members at a community assembly meeting called to consider the offer and at which a quorum of two-thirds of the members of that community is obligatory. (4) The community may request the guidance and assistance of the county government or any other relevant stakeholders in considering the offer of investment.” The amendment seeks to protect members of the community and give them power to make decision on investments on their land. That is so that a few unscrupulous people or members of that community do not make decisions on behalf of the community. That is the essence. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
