    "content": "I say this with my mind more tuned towards the downtrodden other than the Government. I know that the Government is trying to protect itself by saying that on many occasions when they have tried to acquire land, people rush to courts and they get all sorts of orders. But my question is; what about the poor little fellow down in Kericho, who may feel at some particular time, that the Government has infringed on their rights and their land is being taken? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the SGR will be passing by our County. What will happen if some of the people who will be affected by this will feel that, for one reason or the other, they have not been properly compensated? Are we saying that through an Act of Parliament, those people will have no measure of seeking redress in court? When the Committee gets to look at this, they can address the mischief that the Government is trying to cure without exposing the population to what will be the vagaries of Government that keeps on coming and going. You may have a sober leader right now, but what about 10, 15 or 20 years down the line, where you might have a dictator in office who has no regards to human rights and that kind of thing? That will be dangerous."
