    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Petition because land acquisition is a problem everywhere. As a country, we need to be serious on how we acquire land. We need to give the relevant Committee that is going to be assigned this Petition some responsibility because land acquisition has been abused. In Isiolo County, where the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) project is passing, there was supposed to be public participation on Saturday yet the members of the public were not aware of it because there was no public notice to that effect. Secondly, the people are being told that they cannot be compensated for the land that will be used by LAPSSET because it is a community land and that is illegal. We need to take this matter seriously, as the Senate and a country. We should say no to compulsory acquisition of land without compensation because land is an emotive issue. It is a source of livelihood and it is sensitive. It is also an inheritance from our parents. The pastoralist community may own the land as a community but they do have title deeds and identity of those particular pieces of land that they own. This matter has to be taken seriously."
