    "content": "Hon. Speaker, when you go and settle somewhere, you expect your people to be buried there when they die. It should come out clearly because it is affecting people who are being compensated. You buried your father, mother and very important people and when it comes to compensation, it has to be considered as a factor that affects that particular person. We should also remove conditions such as having to get license from the county government to re-bury. I have an issue where some people say they do not have any land they can bury their departed family members. They want to be given enough money to relocate the remains to Lang'ata which is at a distance. Therefore, they have to do a fresh burial of somebody who was buried 20 years ago. These are some of the issues that should be articulated before we come up with a proper index for this. What I find disturbing in this Bill is that, if you do a development two years before the gazettement of that land, then it will not be considered in the valuation. This is not a good legislation because when you are developing your land, you do not know whether the Government will come and acquire it. Therefore, the timeframe of two years is on a higher side, unless we say that when the Government gazettes that land, that is when it becomes Government land and you should not do further development. Prior to that, you are not sure whether the Government will acquire that land and all the investments should be considered equally."
