    "content": "the ways in which that can be done. It says that the Government can even pay within one year. A serious Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, Hon. T.J., is seated here. Even where the Government is involved in buying land, for example, in the last Parliament the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs brought a proposal to the Budget and Appropriations Committee to buy property for the EACC, the last payment we made on that property was in the 2018/2019 Budget. We allocated Kshs50 million. So, there is no way you will say that the Government must pay. If you go that route, then no project will be implemented. More fundamentally, the amendment is in violation of Clause 7, which talks about issuance of Government bonds, grant of transfer of development rights as may be prescribed, monetary payments, either in lump sum or in instalments spread over a period of not more than one year. If you allow these amendments, then you will be contradicting Clause 7. We cannot legislate in vain. So, I oppose this amendment."
