    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support Hon. Mishi’s amendment. She is proposing to delete clause 45, which is repealing Section 18 in the NLC Act. Firstly, the argument that we already deleted the definition of “board” does not hold water because we even opposed the deletion of that definition. Secondly, the big problem that the Committee says those boards have is the approval by the county assemblies. If the approval of the county assemblies is the problem, we should introduce an amendment to deal with that specific problem, instead of deleting the boards completely. Section 18 of NLC Act - which we are repealing - says that the county land management boards comprise of seven members who are appointed by NLC. You cannot propose to have members of staff in the counties. You need the engagement of the communities on land issues. Those boards allow the NLC to engage the communities out there. You cannot say that you will have members of staff there. The Committee should rethink the issue of abolishing the county land management boards."
