    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me also add my voice to this Petition which is very important. I feel for the residents of the great Jomvu Constituency led by my friend, Hon. Bady Twalib. Under the law and the guidelines, before an implementing agency undertakes a project, first and foremost, they must be sure that they have adequate budgetary allocation. Even if a project is co-funded by international partners, the component for land compensation ordinarily comes from the Government of Kenya, as is the case in this matter. It is important that the implementing agency, which in this case is KeNHA, takes it upon itself to carry out and allocate enough money and transfer that money to the National Land Commission for purposes of compensating the affected persons. There can be no shortcut. You cannot commence a project before the affected persons are compensated for their land. This is unwarranted injustice on the people of Jomvu. Steps must be taken to remedy the situation. I support the idea that this Petition be processed in an expeditious manner."
