    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just needed a clarification from the Cabinet Secretary on the process of land acquisition. I heard him stating that they were having a dispute with the identified landowners. Could you walk us through the process of compulsory acquisition? Based on your response, it appears that in the list of the people to who the land was acquired, the Government did not submit to an expression of interest to where the land was, as well as the valuation of that land. The law spells out the process which is identification, valuation and expression of interest. Once the land has been marked for compulsory opposition, there is a period where the owner of the land can be compensated. Although the law allows for that process of dispute negotiation, it appears that somewhere you miss, that is why you have not been able to settle all the 2,700 people on the list. So, could you walk us through it? Is it that you did not express an interest in all of them or do you just assume that all of them would be happy with you securing the land?"
