    "content": "Thank you. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to remind the Hon. Members from the other side so that they do not contradict themselves. Just yesterday, they were here telling us that one of the functions of the NLC shall be to advise. Today, we are in the same section and they are now removing each and every power of the NLC. The first one that they want to delete is talking about “to advise the national Government on a comprehensive programme for the registration of title in land throughout Kenya”. It was just yesterday, less than 24 hours. The same Committee, in another amendment, argued that the role of the NLC should be advisory. Today, we are now listening to the same argument on their side that proposes to delete this whole thing. Article 67 of the Constitution of Kenya says that one of the functions of the NLC is to advise the national Government on a comprehensive programme for the registration of title in land throughout Kenya. This is the Constitution of Kenya. The Constitution can only work if there is law. Now, the same law that gives power and mileage to this Constitution is being deleted. Let what we are doing here not be a waste of time so that tomorrow we are declared a House which passed unconstitutional Bills."
