    "content": "Where I come from, in Isiolo County, through the LAPSETT and other land acquisitions, people have been disenfranchised. As a House we must stand to be counted. I look forward to working on this in the Senate Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. We must make sure that communities are given what is due to them. In terms of compensation, there is a very narrow definition of what constitutes compensation. For instance, where I come from, where a place has not been developed, range lands, biodiversity hotspots and livelihoods must be compensated and not just buildings. I hope that, moving forward, we are going to make sure that the definition is much broader as to what constitutes compensation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have just been told about the land index. In fact, the land index is very punitive because it follows a colonial model where people are evicted without due consideration or compensation."
