• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The National Land Commission Bill be now read a Second Time. As you know, the issue of land has been emotive and it has attracted debate and attention. It is not only debate and attention, but it has also been identified as a source of conflict and disputes over the years.

• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Clause 7 deals with what it is to be maintained in the land registry in respect of any properties. Those are also there in order to make sure that unlike currently or in the past, all the information that will be required in respect of every title, including the names of the persons who are actually owners or those who are registering any instruments, that all those details will be contained in the register.
