"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this challenge could have been surmounted a little bit by the Chair in his moving remarks. He should have given us some of these details. If the Chair moves the Bill in two or three sentences, then those of us who are not part of the mediation process cannot comprehend. The Chair and the seconder of the Motion did not do justice to us because we are now left to speculate. The points that the Chair is now trying to share should have been raised while moving the Bill. Nonetheless, my emphasis is on the central role that the mediation process is gaining in the legislative process in a bi-cameral Parliament. We should think through while reviewing our Standing Orders to provide for an elaborate procedure on how to carry out mediation. The Houses of Parliament should carry forward some of the input that they received in their various processes when processing the Bills. The aspect of land Bills is an important resource because the community land is vested in the counties. We hope that as we enact this law, we will curb the potential mischief by various county governments especially the county government officials. We have witnessed county governments allocating land to individuals. The passage of this Bill is timely so that we can effectively ensure proper management of community land in our country. Various communities need to benefit from the community land. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I congratulate this team and encourage the House to adopt the Report so that we can fast-track the process of actualisation of the community land law. In this case, we shall have proper management of community land in our country. With those few remarks, I beg to I support."
