"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We are the backbenchers, so it is possible that you were not seeing us. I support the Petition but my concern is that we have delayed compensation whereas we have borrowed heavily. One, therefore, wonders where the money goes to if we are not compensating the land owners who have been affected. The other issue is that delayed compensation and money need to attract interest. This is because these people are losing a source of production. They need to move on and be productive by way of getting the money. I say this because the value of the Shilling today is not the same as tomorrow. That kind of delay needs to attract some interest. The people who are looking at the issue of compensation need to factor in interest. As I conclude, at one point in time I wondered whether we are drifting and behaving like the ‘upper house’."
