    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I oppose the amendments by Hon. Nassir. The main problem this country has had is on land registration. The tussles in the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development increased since the new Constitution was promulgated. The Constitution is very explicit that the role of land registration is given to the national Government and the national Government can only act through a Cabinet Secretary (CS). Unless Hon. Nassir wants the President to be the one gazetting – he has talked of “the mandate,” – his amendment is improper. The CS shall act through the advice of the National Land Commission (NLC). It is clearly given in the Constitution. The NLC is supposed to advise the national Government. The person to be advised is the CS. To that extent, I oppose that amendment. The clause should be retained without being amended. We may want to amend it later so that we can streamline matters. We should go by the advice of the Supreme Court; that registration of land in this country is the preserve of the national Government. When Hon. Nassir says county governments are being eliminated, he should consider that the NLC is acting and managing on their behalf. They are totally included. I oppose."
