    "content": " I must thank the Petitioner. This matter is very serious in our region, that is, Makueni and Kitui counties, where this road was constructed about five years ago. None of our people has been compensated for the land they donated. The law is very clear that when the Government acquires land for purposes of public good, it must compensate those who have given out the land. I really thank this Petitioner and wish this Committee takes this matter up urgently to make sure that our people are compensated. That said and done, the issue has always been the budget. I urge this House, that when it comes to budgeting, to make sure that we allocate resources for compensating Kenyans not specifically Kitui or Makueni but all Kenyans who have given out their land for purposes of constructing projects and programmes which benefit Kenyans. With those remarks, Hon. Speaker, I would want to see this Committee working very fast to give us a resolution as a House so that we resolve the matter. I thank you Hon. Speaker for the time."
