    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Petition by Mr. Calvin Luther Munayi. There are two issues that come out of this Petition; non-compensation and delay in issuance of title deeds. It is important that the Senate investigates this issue because it came up in the 12th Parliament and it has come up again. As we get to the bottom line of this Petition, it is also important that we take note of other such challenges that Kenyans are going through elsewhere. It is important that people are compensated for their land if compensation is required because it is a right. It is unfortunate that there are parts of this country that still do not have title deeds after all these years of Independence. Coming back to compensation, there are markets in my county where our people have not been compensated and yet the county government collects tax from them. Those markets are still held as freehold land. As we talk about the compensation of the Jamii Bora Estate residents, it is important that this issue is dealt with, once and for all. Delay in issuance of title deeds is a common problem. Mfangano Island in Suba North Sub-County, Kubia East in Gwasi, Suba South and a section of an adjudication place called Manywanda in Rangwe, still do not have title deeds."
