    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand guided. Yes, I support the Petition. I would like to refer to Article 113 of the Constitution which sets out the clear procedure in terms of the Mediation Committee. For us to be able to assist these residents of Taita Taveta – it is now upon us, Members of this, and particularly the Mediation Committee, for them to move expeditiously so that we can anchor these things in law. If we have a proper legislation that defines the process of land compensation – Article 40 of the Constitution is very clear. Parliament sets out---, for example, right now we are supposed to come up with legislation that will support this issue of land compensation. So, the only way to assist is that I would request the Committee which will be tasked to look at this issue of land compensation – because every other petition which has been brought into this House – unless we can enact or make sure that we dispense off on that Bill so that the President can enact it into law, there is no way we will solve the problem. Therefore, as I support this Petition, I request that within the 30 days that the Committee has been set up, they move expeditiously so that it is clear how people we will be compensated for land which is compulsorily acquired."
