    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, when we say that we are going to use a land value index, that will make it consistent, predictable and will allow the communities living around the airstrip in Homa Bay County to know that if they are to give up their one acre, they should be compensated an amount that is fair as compared to those people who are being compensated on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). It is for that reason that I support the intention of this Bill. There are other issues that have been raised that could then be corrected as we continue with this Bill. I wish that we could also see the report of the Lands, Environment and Natural Resources Committee on their consideration of this Bill, so that they can tell us through their expert view, what it is that they believe needs to be changed in this Bill. As I finalise, why did we establish the NLC? One of the commissions that has enjoyed great public confidence and support at its formation was the NLC. Even the appointment of the first Chair of the NLC, it took a lot of political stamina to ensure that Dr. Swazuri was named the first Chair of the NLC. When he went into office, the people who had done shoddy things with land in this country feared that he were going to flush them out. People felt that we had finally found a man who was going to implement the Ndung’u Report. Finally, we had found a man who would implement the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) report whether Parliament has adopted it or not."
