"content": "neighbourhood and others were pieces of paper. I recollect last week the Chair saying that it cannot refuse to accept a document. Even a piece of paper, under Kenyan law, is justifiable if a person claims that they have an interest in that particular piece of paper. It behoves this House to recognize the function of our courts that they have a right to hear evidence and to receive representations by members of the public and also the law on compulsory acquisition. It sends negative signals. I do hope that in due course, we will amend the title of that law, so that it does not create a negative sense that you are merely going to take somebodyâs land through compulsory acquisition. This is merely a principal of law that requires that we recognize the primary function of the State; that, it can recover land for purposes stated in the Constitution. With those few remarks, I beg to support the amendment."
