    "content": "I, the undersigned, on behalf of members of the Sengwer Community living in Cherangany Constituency, Trans Nzoia County, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, access to and ownership of land as a factor of production is a fundamental right that enables the realisation of better standards of life through exploitation of our capacities to utilise it for generations. THAT, Article 27 of the Constitution provides that every person is equal before the law and has a right to equal protection and benefit of the law. THAT, Article 63 of the Constitution provides that community land shall vest in and be held by communities identified on the basis of ethnicity, culture or similar community of interest, ‘community land’ being land lawfully registered in the name of group representatives under the provisions of any law, land lawfully transferred to a specific community by any process of law, any other land declared to be community land by law, and land that is held, managed or used by specific communities as community forests, grazing areas or shrines, ancestral lands and lands traditionally occupied by hunter-gatherer communities, or lawfully held as trust land by the county governments on behalf of the communities for which it is held. THAT, the Community Land Act gives effect to Article 63 (5) of the Constitution providing for the recognition, protection and registration of community land rights; management and administration of community land including the role of county governments in relation to unregistered community land. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
