    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I will begin with the clarification that was sought by hon. Lempurkel on the matter of compensation. Well, the matter of compensation shall be between the Government and the owner of the land. Therefore, I cannot say I will allow him to be compensated because that is a matter between the owner and the Ministry that is supposed to resettle those people. However, where the Committee will be recalled to guide and maybe give some advice, we shall deal with that as a Committee. I thank hon. Lelit because what he has done is first of all to congratulate the Committee and I thank him so much for that. That means we are doing some good work. Of course, a precedent has been set because what is supposed to happen in Lekiji may also cascade to other areas of the country. Therefore, it is likely to be a guide towards other areas that have got the same problems. Indeed, we know very soon I am going to bring a Bill on evictions to this House for debate. We also want to put it to public scrutiny so that if we can see where such conflicts are between the owners and the people settled on the farms, it would be better. Evictions should be done in a structured way so that there are no bloody issues like we saw in Ngati Farm in Naivasha. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker.
