    "content": "According to Article 40 of the Constitution, the rights of land are not subservient to compulsory acquisition. If you want to do a highway, that is well and good; but you should respect the rights of the landowner, whether this person is a small man or a big man. What Sen. Sakaja says is true that this land belonged to the people living in Karen. There was a time when the current Governor of Nairobi City County stalled the construction of a road somewhere near the Bomas of Kenya because it affected a big man. They stalled the road for a year. Alternatively, we can resort to what the Governor of Kajiado County has done and just block the place and say: ―Forget about it. You will not touch this place until you compensate us‖. Kenyans are suffering because we are pretending that we are doing this for public good. Since when did public good override the public and their land and rights? Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
