    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Petition. It looks like this is an extraordinary Petition. Ordinarily, you do not expect the community to fight with the church. As other Senators have said, people normally ran to church for solutions. This is unfortunate. The community should seriously look into it. Secondly, whenever there is compulsory acquisition of land, it happens in community land. This matter seriously needs to be looked into. Every Tom, Dick and Harry, feel that they can go to the community lands and take their land without even consulting them. I believe there is a legislation where the community and the relevant Government institutions on the ground and the community need to be consulted. We have a similar situation in Isiolo where the Government has acquired land to construct the road from Isiolo to Modogashe. The National Land Commission (NLC) has agreed to review the compensation figure, but they have not done anything. I brought a Statement on the Floor of this House, which has not been resolved to date. The Committee should seriously look into issues of compensation specifically on community land. Where private land is involved, procedures are followed. However, where community land is involved, nobody takes the laws seriously in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support."
