    "content": "This Bill will also establish the Land Acquisition Tribunal as it has been well explained by the Leader of the Majority Party. If someone is aggrieved with the decision that has been made by the NLC in valuation, he or she can appeal to that Tribunal instead of going to court. We know very well that there is a lot of backlog within the courts. This tribunal will be there to deal with the aggrieved persons as the first opportunity. Hon. Speaker, I could go on and on, but in summary, the Bill is progressive. It comes at an opportune time when the Government is pursuing the Big Four Agenda, which might call for investments in infrastructure development projects in various parts of the country. This is the right time for this Bill. I would like to encourage the Members to support it. The Bill is also critical in that it will safeguard Kenyans’ rights to property as enshrined in Article 40 of the Constitution so that where land is acquired by the NLC, each Kenyan can be guaranteed that they will be compensated for the real value of their land."
