    "content": "The other area that I want to focus on in this Bill is Part VII, where we discuss the right of way, way-leaves and use of land for energy resource and infrastructure. We are all aware, more so, as Members of Parliament, of the many challenges in situations where we want to help our people to access power, especially electricity connection. The issue of way-leaves is controversial. People say that electricity posts cannot be mounted on their farms. Most of them demand that they must be compensated before any installation is done. So, this Bill proposes that in a situation where power has to be connected to a public institution and that power will pass through individual farms or public land, private owners should be consulted and given time to consent so that their farms can be used. This Bill says that this has to be done in two newspapers of nationwide circulation, so that it becomes public. They should be told that their land will be used for that purpose."
