    "content": "we had problems with succession in the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) in Makueni. This is because most of the land has not been granted title deeds. Therefore, it has not been transmitted to successive heirs of the respective families. However, the Ministry chose to pay the people of Thwake in installments. The effect of this, and it is against the Constitution, is that people who have not moved from their land have now been paid. They have not moved or found alternative land, but they are now spending the money. As a result, this action will create squatters. I hope that the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries will resolve this question. It is against the Constitution and that is why we passed the law and the Land Acquisition Act. This was applied in Makueni on the SGR. When land is acquired from the public, it must be paid for promptly and not in installments. For purposes of this Statement, and because it is now water under the bridge, it should be noted that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) and the National Land Commission have violated the law in paying the project affected persons in installments. The Senate Majority Leader will note that part of the compensation is graves. As you pay these persons in installments, they continue to bury the dead. The people they are burying are not part of the schedules that were supposed to be paid two years ago, hence the danger of paying the project affected persons in installments. It should be noted and I will raise this issue even further when it comes to the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. For purposes of transparency, could the Senate Majority Leader provide this Senate with the list of the 1,563 persons who have been paid and the list of the 229 persons? I intend to display this list in Makueni County."
