"content": "In this case, the Chairman of the NLC has not taken his work seriously ever since he assumed office. Therefore, we as legislators in this House should place emphasis on the issue of NLC and whether they are working and performing their duties as expected by the appointing authorities or it is a commission that is just adding more problems to this country on issues of land, which do not seem to be resolved at all. I would urge the Committee to ensure that they talk to the people concerned at NLC with a view that they take their work seriously and ensure that cases that have been reported relating to land are being resolved. There are very many cases pending. If you go around the country you will find a lot of people complaining. In my county, we have several cases which are still pending for years and they do not seem to be resolved. We should take matters relating to land in this country very seriously because land is a commodity that is taken very seriously. Everybody in this country desires to own a piece of land. In that case, we should ensure that cases relating to land are taken seriously, and our people invest in the land they have in their possession. Anybody with a piece of land can use that parcel of land to get a loan from banks. Therefore, if one does not have the necessary papers from NLC or the Government pertaining to his or her land, then you are denying that person using that piece of land and from accessing any credit from banks or any other facilities that he or she might be looking forward to. Please, let us take matters relating to land very seriously and ensure that cases related to land are resolved once and for all. We should not continue taking people who have reported their cases round in circles without resolving their matters. With that, I want to support the Report. The House should look at that Report and ensure that the matter is resolved. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
