    "content": "There are a lot of issues that will arise. I am happy that this will go to a Committee that will take time to look at the Petition. I happened to have been affected by that same SGR where I come from. As I speak, there is a place in Sultan Hamud that I know, as of now, is impassable. You cannot access the place through the tunnels that they put for purposes of access because of the way the construction was done. We have complaints from the locals that the tunnels that were done in this SGR are so far apart that for someone to reach his or her home, he or she has to go through a very long route to access his or her home. So, it really became an inconvenience to most of these people and some of their cases should be heard. On the issue of compensation, we really would want this Committee to look at it keenly. We had a very touchy issue concerning Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO). The compensation rates that they were giving to the Kajiado side which is only separated from Makueni by the railway were different. So, it brought a lot of issues. We should be treated in the same way and get the same compensation if the same rates could be applied for the same area. We have issues arising out of this SGR. It is a big project, but the people’s concerns must be taken care of. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
