    "content": "I urge that we look at this issue with a broad and open mind. The only thing that I warn against is that a trend is emerging in this Government where in the pursuit of what is considered to be public good, citizens end up suffering. We, as citizens, have continued to cheer them on and say we support what the Government is doing because it either makes our country better, or we have a sadistic view to life. Madam Temporary Speaker, let me take an example of what happened to the residents of Nkoroi. Their houses were demolished and they were left out in the cold with their families. Imagine if you were to return to your home this afternoon and find that the place you and your family have called home is no longer accessible simply because the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the National Land Commission (NLC) cannot agree on the amount of money they are supposed to pay you before you move out. It will be unfortunate. I urge our colleagues who sit in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to look into some of these issues. This is emerging to be a very bad public trend where individual human rights are being trampled upon and we are told 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."
