They have aligned the provisions of the mediated version to Article 63(1) of the Constitution. The amendment should ensure that once community land has been registered, the respective county governments should release the community money payable to the communities, including interest earned on community land that had been utilised for county government projects. The county governments are authorised by this law to ensure that the money and interest payable for the land they have acquired is paid to the communities or they compensate the community for the land they are utilising. For instance, county council lands which do not have title deeds, but which are now going to be covered by an Act of Parliament."}
