    "content": "It is also good for this Ministry to review the membership of the Land Control Boards. More importantly, they should abolish what is called the “Special Lands Board Committees” where you find the Chairman and the Secretary of the committee meet to arbitrarily allocate or transfer land without the involvement of the larger land control board committee. It is also good that they also operationalise or make functional, the land tribunal boards. In most districts, the tribunals do not exist. In most cases, it is the facilitation that lacks. My main concern to this Ministry is on the land control boards. What I mean by reviewing the membership is to reflect the wishes of the local community. It is good now that we are in the new Constitution and are devolving the governance structure in this country, we should give the local community a bigger say in terms of deciding who sits on the land control boards because they play an important role. It is important that people with knowledge on those local resources be included in those boards."
