"content": "Imagine a situation where someone walks in here and says, ―May I use this piece of land for a particular purpose?‖ Then you nicely say, ―Go ahead and use it‖ and then they say by the way we are going to pay you later for the land that we are using. Then you wait and wait and nothing happens. We had a similar situation in Kitui where peoples land has been taken for road construction and no payments has been made. It is still going on and the time when we visited, we were told that people were going to be paid. Recently, again in Kiambu, we had a similar situation where people‘s land has been taken and has not been paid for. So, the question to our government is; are human birds that you can tell, ―go out there and live in the trees, we take away your land but we are not going to compensate you for the land we have taken?‖ The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
