Land Commission Bill- what is it all about?

HON: CHITINDI: On a point of order. What the Minister is saying is very important, contrary to popular belief.  There is too much noise coming from the front, especially where Vice P{resident Mudzuri is sitting.  Please, tibatsireiwo. – [HON. MEMBERS: Aah!] –

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, Hon. Members. I have the right to give an answer to the point of order.  The point of order is noted and I appeal to Hon. Members that while you are allowed to talk to your colleagues, you are allowed to go out, talk and come back so that others hear what the Minister is saying.  You can proceed Hon Minister.

HON. DR. MOMBESHORA: Part XI of the Bill sets forth general provisions of the Bill and deals with the following matters:  rentals for State land; the Minister’s authority to give the Commission policy directions; limited immunity against legal proceedings for the Commission or any member of the Commission, Executive Secretary or person acting under the direction of the Commission in pursuance of this Bill and provision for the provincial, district and other offices of the Commission.

The Bill should enable the Land Commission to carry out its functions efficiently, effectively and impartially as envisaged by the Constitution.  I therefore submit the Land Commission Bill for consideration and move that the Bill be read for a second time.
