    "content": "I would like to go to some examples. The Committee is examining one Petition that was filed recently by the people of Kajiado County, through Hon. Manje. We observed the great variation in compensation between two pieces of land that are adjacent to each other with a difference of nearly Kshs10 million even in places where pieces of land are separated by a mere fence. This tells us that this Bill is timely. It is important that this House participates in making a decision on matters to do with valuation. When this Bill goes through, it will give a clear framework for the whole country, so that we can stop people from taking advantage of Kenyans and misusing the process for their own gain. What explains this variation? It is because there is lack of a framework to govern the valuation. Valuers make decisions, but I do not know what they base these decisions on. They can decide that a piece of land costs this much, the next one this much, and the next one, which is adjacent, costs much more, which is a problem. The feeling within the Committee is that this does not just happen. It looks like people are influenced to make this kind of a decision."
