    "content": "The principal aim of this Bill is to ensure that the compensation of the land that is acquired compulsorily from a private citizen by the Government for purposes of putting up a Government utility must be done within a reasonable time. It must also be adequate. We have a history when it comes to major infrastructural development in Kenya. Those who are in the know always rush to where that infrastructure will be put up and they buy that land cheaply from the locals of that area and wait for the project to start and then sell it to the Government. Thereby, they make huge amounts of money. The easiest way to get money in this country is by buying land for speculative purposes, when you have prior knowledge that the Government will put up some development for public utility."
