    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my request is on the amendment that the Departmental Committee Chairman has moved. There is a fundamental error in it. There is a breach of the Constitution. I have said it earlier that the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution gives county governments a role in determining the management of land affairs. They have deleted that. If time could allow, I would have read out the original version. This is an amendment to the original Bill. The original Bill says: “For the purpose of this Act, the Commission, in consultation with the Government and the county governments may order, in the Gazette---” They have removed the county governments while the reason it is here is because it is a constitutional requirements for county governments to be here. It will be an effort in vain for us to make laws which will be challenged at the High Court and declared illegal. Let us heed this constitutional requirement. The amendment that the Departmental Committee Chairman is pushing through this House is unconstitutional. We should leave the Act as it originally was. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady."
