    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, there seems to be either some kind of miscommunication or some case of not being diligent enough. Section 120 is very explicit. Probably, the reason the amendments were necessary was to cure the mischief and unnecessary delays in compensation. Section 120 reads that it is only after the award has been made and the amount of the first offer paid. That supposes that the Government can pay you an installment, get into your land and wait before it pays you the rest. The spirit of the amendments here was to force the Government to pay in full and just compensation before taking possession. Obviously, I join my colleagues in opposing the amendments because they literally punish the land owner who has been deprived of his property. I totally oppose. Let us retain as it is in the Bill. Thank you."
