    "content": "Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be amended by- b) deleting sub-clause (2) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause− “(2) Any land which has been used communally, for public purpose, before the commencement of this Act shall upon commencement of this Act be deemed to be public land vested in the national or county government, according to the use it was put for.”; and (c) inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (2)— “(3) A registered community may reserve special purpose areas including areas for— (a) farming; (b) settlement; (c) community conservation; (d) cultural and heritage sites; (e) urban development; and (f) any other purposes as may be determined by the community, respective County Government or National Government for the promotion or upgrading of public interest. The import of (b) is to ensure that public land which was used by several communities as a whole before the enactment of the Act remains public land so that the community does not claim that public land belongs to them. For example, if it was a school, it means this is a school that was being used by several other people. The other import is that the amendment also seeks to provide for the object for which a registered community may reserve special purpose areas in that community land. For example, they can afford to set aside an area where there could be a dip for themselves or they can set aside an area where maybe they would like to settle as a cluster. That is what we are trying to do here."
