    "content": "We looked at the issue of the SGR when I was in the Public Investments Committee. Up to now, we have people who have cases of not having been compensated. This is how the NLC comes in. You realise the way people were being compensated was haphazard. With such a law in place, it is going to provide a framework that is going to guide and to bring harmony. This is what we are talking about. This is a very good law and I want to salute you for looking at the issue of the tribunal. We have cases that have piled up in courts, but this tribunal is going to expedite the complaints. It is also going to attract investors. One of the critical factors of production, as I said earlier, is land. Land will attract investors to this country. When you look at the Big Four Agenda, housing is one of the components. A house cannot be built in the air. It must be built on land. With the Public Private Partnerships (PPP), we will attract the private sector to put up the housing units that the Jubilee Government is talking about. This law must be in place so that an investor in America, Dubai or China will know that if they are coming to Kenya, this is what they are likely to spend and after this duration, this is what is going to be the value of land or property. It is very critical. At the same time, other than housing, we are talking about manufacturing. When you are putting up a factory, it must be on land. Manufacturing is one of the agenda that is going to create employment for the youth. Therefore, land cuts across the board.
