    "content": "Currently, there is a stalemate in the Judiciary because of the ruling of the High Court sitting in Malindi that no other judge will hear land cases until the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) identifies judges who will purposely hear these issues. This has caused a lot of backlog in terms of land cases. I like Clause 2 of this Bill. The introduction of some terms like compensation is good. What is compensation? The criteria should be clear to ensure there is fair compensation. There is the issue of “prompt”. It is an insertion that has been brought in Clause 2 and is in relation to payment. There should be prompt payment. There should be no delay in payment. Some issues need to be addressed by the Departmental Committee on Land. We should include issues like inconveniences and extraneous cases in terms of moving. They are issues that should be included because if you look at that insertion of prompt payment, there is a caveat. Paragraph (ii) says that it should be done in not more than three years, but my view is that the compensation should prompt, immediate and should not be in installments as indicated. It should be in full. The other definition is “in full” in relation to compensation. They are proposing that it should be done within a period of three years and can be done in installments. However, I think it should be done promptly and in full."
