"content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I rise to support this Statement by Sen. Pareno. I am very pleased that the Land Index Bill is before mediation committee because I have had issues with it for a very long time. It is very punitive, especially for communities. It is based a model that is colonial in the sense that it cannot purport to do a development at the expense of disenfranchisement of communities, especially in pastoral areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that we take advantage of some of these Statements to push through some of the things that are outstanding, especially land issues. As everybody says, land is very emotive. However, the issue of compulsory acquisition of land from anybody be it private owner, or a community land, is unacceptable. I am glad that the mediators have said no to anybody moving out of their land before they are paid their dues. Where will they go without compensation?"
