My only clarification on page nine of the resolution is that the Committee has made very general observations whilst the National Land Commission (NLC) and the Minister in charge of Land, Housing and Urban Development made very specific commitments. I will deal with them one by one so that the Chair can deal with the resolutions. This is a matter that we can take forward in case they default so that resolutions are clear.

The correct term is Cabinet Secretary. I apologise to the Senate for misrepresenting the Constitution. The Cabinet Secretary in charge of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Charity Ngilu, was kind enough and magnanimous I must say, in saying that the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

.: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleague Senators in thanking Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki for rising to the occasion.

It is that person we should seek an appointment for, if necessary, to speak to the Head of the Executive. We should say that this Senate has a ...
