    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, the other area which I looked at is where we are talking about forming the county team. In this county team we are bringing in agricultural officers, people who are experts in the use of land. But the community that is within is less represented. So, I think that is an area that we will bring in amendments so that this can also be captured. Last, but not least, is the representation of the elected leaders. That is because more often than not, when you go outside there, we are the people that our constituents will ask many questions. They will ask us about compensation for injuries. We are the people who take those people to hospitals and we are the ones who pay their bills. Therefore, we must also be involved in the compensation of those who are injured so that they can receive fair, adequate and prompt compensation. This is because more often, the compensation has been taking a very long time. People are injured, they are taken to hospitals and some of them continue paying medical bills. For those who are able to afford they continue incurring medical expenses which is not commensurate with the expenses that they incur in terms of hospital bills and the injuries which they sustain. There is even the psychological trauma somebody goes through. Once somebody is injured; it is not just that the person feels both the psychological and the physical trauma, even the surrounding community which is going to move around and see to it that they are able to take this person to hospital is affected. More often, some of them suffer severe arm injuries that are irreversible. I want to support what hon. Gichigi said, let us not look at somebody in terms of just compensating for life. We must do proper assessment. With those few remarks, I support."
