    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Petition. There are many petitions touching on land compensation which have not been resolved by this House, including in my constituency. Hon. Speaker, I would like you to know that there is a road from Siaya Town to Nyadorera to Port Victoria which was done 20 years ago and the parcels of land which were acquired during that period have not been compensated to date. So, we want to urge the NLC to fast track these matters because it appears that it is sleeping on the job. I do not know what this Commission does other than corruption. I think this Commission also needs to be checked by this House. The Departmental Committee that is in charge of overseeing this Commission needs to check whether it is working or not. Secondly, I have a Petition before this Committee touching on Cytonn Investments. When we appeared before this Committee together with the petitioners, I realised that the petition should have gone to another Departmental Committee but not this particular one. This is because the petition had technical issues which should have been handled by the competent Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. So, the question of centralising this petition is something that this House needs to check so that it is taken to a Departmental Committee that is competent enough with Members who are well versed to resolve it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
