    "content": "Thank you. I support that amendment by the Committee Chair. If you look at “d”, that amendment is not giving the CS some excessive power to do anything. It is only giving the CS power to make regulations in terms of registrations and to prescribe regulations on the functions of registration of title. We have already agreed on the fundamental issues on how to register a title? That is a function of the national Government and it is just natural that when you are making regulations on how to effect that, it can only be made by the CS. So, I do not think that it is the CS doing the job as Hon. Mbadi is trying to put it. He is just making regulations. We just passed a National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) Bill and the regulations were made by the CS on how to effect that. How does that now give the CS power over NGCDF? I want to plead with my Members that this amendment by the Committee Chair is completely in order. This is so that we do not leave a lot of ambiguities. What is wrong with giving the owner or the proprietor of land time to make an application? Why do you want to rush something because you think that somebody will go to court? We are the ones who create these laws. What is wrong when I am aggrieved and I go to court to seek relieve. Is there any harm in doing that? So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment as proposed by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands."
