    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to add my voice to this issue of compensation. When the Government acquires land or property from the owners, they have no otherwise except to surrender that land. They will also rely on Government valuation; they do not even get the kind of value they would wish for. We will not be doing justice to our people when the authorities within Government delay in effective compensation. As I speak, we have the Soin-Koru dam, a massive project that is being done between Sigowet/Soin and Muhoroni constituencies. The land was forcefully acquired about 10 years ago. To date, majority of the landowners in that project have not been compensated. I want to thank Mr. Makwattah Ibrahim for bringing this issue to Parliament. I want to request that his case is promptly and expeditiously processed. Competent authorities in Government should also do the same when it comes to compensation. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
