"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will give a case in point. In 2016, we passed The Community Land Act, where we said very clearly that the CS for Lands is supposed to make regulations. I looked for those regulations and was surprised that they actually went through the National Assembly in March this year. Those regulations will govern the implementation of the Community Land Act, which clearly affects counties. However, the Senate did not have an input on how that Act will be implemented. In my case, I have a very serious issue when it comes to community land. Our main issue has been to make sure that community land is clearly defined. That is why, when that Bill came from the National Assembly, it was rejected in totality in the Senate. Moreover, it had to go through mediation the whole day, where we scrutinized it clause by clause, starting with the title to the end. We wanted to make sure it was in line and would assist counties with regard to community lands; to ensure that they are registered and not to disadvantage communities."
