Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Procedural Motion. It is important for the Departmental Committee on Lands because we have seen that a number of Bills which we have been working on have not seen the light of the day. Some of them have gone back to mediation. I want to encourage the House Business committee (HBC) to continue bringing our reports on the Floor of the House.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition.

On behalf of the Committee, we have done a lot of work and presented reports to this House. I urge the House Business Committee (HBC) to make sure that those reports see the light of the day, as they plan the work of this House.

Secondly, the issue in Samburu is not unique to that area. A lot of Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) areas in this country and big chunks of land have been set aside in the historical ways but they have never been put to use. The residents are not allowed to own and use those parcels of land. Those parcels just lie idle out there and are in the name of Government institutions. It is time we came up with a policy of taking care of land. We need to do land audit in this country so that the Departmental Committee ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to oppose this amendment very strongly. I want to draw the attention of Hon. Members to what we did yesterday, on Clause 42 of the Bill. Clause 42 of the Bill says Section 2 of the National Land Commission Act is amended in section 2 by deleting the definition of “board”. Hon. Mishi’s amendment is giving life to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.
