    "content": "The purpose of this law should not be to put procedure and propose amendments to KETRACO. I would like Sen. Murkomen to know that KETRACO pays 30 per cent of the value of land. You retain your land but they have 30 metres and pay you 30 per cent to put the pylons. You are not supposed to have a fruit tree that grows up to 30 metres or something like that. So, there should be no issue. I think Kenyans should be paid more for not being able to use their land because you cannot build anything 60 metres next to the pylon but they require 30 metres. In essence, you lose 30 metres plus 60 metres but you are only paid for 30 metres, which you are allowed to use but you are warned that you might get cancer if you use. Why not acquire the whole piece of land so that people do not have to use it and be exposed to high power voltage lines which are said to cause cancer because of radiation? These are things we need to talk about so that in acquiring of land, the question of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as a result of some of those things is made part and parcel of the compulsory conditions for acquiring land."
