    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this is an Act of Parliament to amend the laws relating to land, to align them with the Constitution and give effect to Article 68(c)(1) and 67(2)(e) of the Constitution and also to provide for procedures on evictions from land and for connected purposes. We have had many challenges after the promulgation of the new Constitution. This Bill ensures that we harmonize the conflicts between the NLC and the Ministry. It will also ensure that devolved units work together. As the Deputy Majority Leader has said, it will ensure that people receive their title deeds. The Bill also brings out the issue of property clearly. We should respect private property. Considering what is happening in the country, it will safeguard those who are in fear. In times of conflict, those who have bought land somewhere else suffer. They are targeted and eventually, they lose property. As we unlock this impasse, let us bear in mind that land in our country is there for everyone. One can own land anywhere in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
