    "content": "development in Kenya. Beyond the compensation of land, we have had many community and Government conflicts over a number of projects that have had to be stopped because communities rose and objected to those projects proceeding for one reason or another. As Sen. Cheptumo has said, this goes to the issue of public participation. Often times, we have had no public participation where allocation is identified for development and the communities are not consulted resulting in conflict. Sometimes, the piece of the land picked is even sentimental, has cultural or religious value. We have not taken the issue of compensation seriously. Beyond this, I am recommending that the Committee look at the issue of social risk management in infrastructure development in Kenya so that we can develop a policy that can guide reasonable compensation as well as look at other social risks to development projects. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
