    "content": ": Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands. The Land Value Index Laws (Amendment) Bill is key. It is high time we made sure that people do not reap from where they did not sow but it has been happening. Some people have lost land or have not got value for their money and others have gained irregularly. This is happening in Eastlands. There is a lot of development going on in line with the Big Four Agenda. The city is being cleaned up, but instead of the Government looking at how it can assist Kenyans…. I remember during campaigns, most people rushed to markets where there were many people, but of late you find most Kenyans especially within Eastlands or within Nairobi City, the capital of Kenya, suffering. Instead of the Government ensuring that land which was acquired illegally or the public land which was meant for markets... The Bill should be amended so that before the Government looks at what it is going to get in wayleaves, it should first consider what it owns. We have many public utilities and we have many people who live on riparian land. There are others who have taken Government land. At Outering, the road cannot be completed because some people took Government land and have title deeds and because the value of land is quite high, you find there are issues. Government projects stall as a result of such things."
