    "content": "Secondly, this amendment seeks to ensure that as many community members as possible receive notification on matters related to community land. They have clearly indicated that they can use electronic media to reach community members and ensure that there is adequate participation in decisions relating to land belonging to communities. I also insist that in future, such forums like chiefs’ barazas should be included in such a law for effective coordination in matters related to community affairs like land issues. I am also happy with the mediated version of the Bill because it provides for job description. Clause 8 says that a county government is responsible for surveying and mapping. So, surveying and mapping is a devolved function. They have recognised that county governments are responsible and that is in Clause 8. I would like to thank the Chair for having done a good job. When it goes to the Senate, they will not have a problem because these were part of the hitches. They had said that surveying and mapping are devolved functions hence the need for county governments to be consulted. This is so important. Lastly, the amendment also seeks to ensure that an inventory is carried out on land shared within the communities for easy access by the community members. This will give transparency. In areas like Kajiado, community land has been allocated to members of the community and to non-existing members. When you have an inventory to ensure that land is allocated to real community members and that there are no ghost members, you will ensure that we have transparency in matters pertaining to the division and allocation of community land. I wish you well as you vie for governorship in Bomet County."
