    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement by Sen. Dullo, and congratulate her for bringing it to the attention of this House and the nation. In my view, Gazette Notice No.150 is illegal and should be revoked. Pastoralists already own their land collectively. What we seek is registered community land titles to evidence our ownership. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Gazette Notice is going to disempower communities, because while we are not averse to titling, we would like that to be done properly under the Community Land Act, where community tittles are issued and other tenures are looked at. Article 40 and 61 of our Constitution on public, private and community tenure are distinct, but equal in legal force and effect, as per the phrase of the Article and reinforced in Section 5 of the Land Act, 2012. Our Constitution deliberately distinguishes between a community land title and appreciates that while equal in legal force and effect, socially collective tenure has special demands. Therefore, we do not wish to subject this community land to adjudication when we have not demarcated what is community land, private land and what, indeed, is public land."
