Madam Temporary Speaker, under the Community Land Act of 2016, the County Government of Isiolo, in conjunction with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Lands, should ensure that the people in that county are issued with title deeds for the land that is vested in the community.

Secondly, under the Community Land Act of 2016, the community should have elected the Community Land Management Committee, which should be charged with issues of discussing with the NLC and any issue of forceful acquisition of land that is vested in the community.
