    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be deleted. In the words of my colleagues who vehemently seem to be totally against this, Clause 5 wants to take a whole section in the Land Registration Act by deleting the word “Commission” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the word “Cabinet Secretary.” If my memory is not that of a Goldfish, my colleague was saying that the county governments can be represented by the NLC. We tend to wonder, if that is the case, why are we deleting a whole commission in the whole subsection? There have been talks here that this is something that has already been pre-emptied by the Supreme Court and that there is a 167-page document. I just wish to re-emphasise that as much as we are trying---Someone was saying that the NLC has failed. I wish to remind him that it is the previous governments that caused historical injustices of land in this country. At that time, there was no NLC. In as much as all historical injustices have been put in one clause in this omnibus Bill, it is wrong to start saying that the NLC cannot handle things and it is the one that has brought problems to this country. Each and every person who has grabbed public land in this country grabbed that land prior to the existence of the NLC. That needs to be clarified. I wish, once again, to re-emphasise that we are going against the grain of the feelings of the Kenyans. We need to be here not for personal interest or anyone else’s interest but for the interest of Kenyans. This country has seen bloodshed. Let us understand that."
