    "content": "Parliament and he was our Minority Leader. He was very humble, straightforward, straight kicking and stickler to the rules. We will miss his guidance and his company. I have looked at the Bill, but I want to support by saying that this Bill could not have come at a more opportune moment than now. We are living in a world where land is getting smaller and the population is getting bigger. We will need a lot of regulations to maximise the use of the little land that is remaining so that those who can buy land can get the opportunity to get value for their money. As it is now, there is survey without proper regulations. We had so many qualified diligent surveyors at hand, in offices, and most of them have died and some retired. A lot of people went and picked their licences and certificates and are now using them when they do not have what it takes to serious surveyors hence the lots of conflict that we have. They are bringing unnecessary conflict over land everywhere. If you move around, even the so- called physical planners and part of the surveying fraternity, you will find that our towns are unplanned. When you check, you find that building owners have approvals. The approvals are given for people who purport to be surveyors and yet the work does not add value to their certificates and purported qualifications. This Bill is coming at a time when we badly need this law. We need to regulate this profession. We need proper direction."
