    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, now that we are futuristic in management and we are talking about the new Constitution, one of the most contentious issues was the National Land Commission. I think it is incumbent upon this Ministry as it prepares legislation that will operationalise the National Land Commission, and taking into account the National Land Policy that was passed by this House, it is good that it takes into account the land use system in terms of the minimum and the maximum land ownership. The issue of land use system is very important. This country should be classified into a number of land use systems, that is, agricultural, pastoral, tourism, industrial and residential. These are the issues that our brothers in the “No” camp capitalized on during the referendum. They were asking what the National Land Commission will do. So, it is also good that the Ministry finds ways to formulate laws that will recognise the devolved structure of governance with respect to the National Land Commission. This is because some of us were of the view that even the issue of land ownership, redistribution and allocation be it public, private or community land should rest with the counties. The counties should decide on how this very important resource will be used."
