    "content": "that land was not adequate. It belongs to the community and that must be protected. I appeal to colleagues that we should look at this clause critically when it comes to the Committee of the whole House. We should amend it to ensure that land that was taken away illegally or forcefully and there was no adequate compensation - like the one we have in Bungoma that belongs to Nzoia Sugar Company - must be regarded as community land and nobody should take it away. I have already made my remarks on the issue of counties. Recently, we were discussing the Transition Authority (TA). It is not part of this Bill, but I think it is partly related because as you move to the issues of the administration of community land by the county governments, you must take into account the issues that affect the community and how they are taking over. Are they going to make public the issues that have been raised? There is a lot that has happened that must be brought out, handled publicly and dealt with to the benefit of the people of Kenya. I thank you for giving me the opportunity. I trust that we are going to work on some amendments when this Bill comes to the Committee stage. With those few remarks, I support."
