    "content": "The Bill goes on to explain what needs to be done. There is a clause which is very interesting. It talks of a situation where the energy resource is going to be for public interest and is going to benefit this country. If a private member or owner of a piece of land cannot allow the Government to use that piece of land, it can go for compulsory acquisition of that piece of land. To me, that is very important because time must be allowed. As Kenyans, we must get to a point where we agree that anything for public good must take first priority. Things that are for private good must be secondary. In that case, where you have land and you say that you do not want your land to be used, the Government can go ahead and use the necessary legislation to make sure that your land is acquired and that particular energy resource is exploited for the benefit of Kenyans, who are the overall owners of this country. So, that is another important clause that I support."
