    "content": "From the Report of the Ruaraka Land, which we tabled, it was clear that matters of valuation were misused. That is why land in such an area was valued at over Kshs200 million. We are also aware that the Government has had many difficulties in acquisition of land for undertaking Government projects. We have problems in getting land for dams and wayleaves. The SGR is an example that we cannot forget. It is always in the newspapers where issues of overvaluation of the SGR land have been raised in this House and outside by the media. As soon as the Government announces that it is undertaking a project, some of the so-called land buying companies take advantage. They purchase land near the areas for purposes of speculation. This makes the prices of land within such areas to skyrocket into extreme highs. Court cases are also filed in plenty which make Government projects to stall. As this Bill has been explained by the Leader of the Majority Party, it will bring a solution to the issue of people who run to purchase land in areas where they expect the Government to implement projects because it gives some timelines in occupancy. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
