    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I must congratulate the Chairman of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources for his commitment to ensuring that this was done well. The Bill was mediated to ensure that communities in the counties are well taken of and that valuation of land will be done not based on the structures, but the livelihoods of pastoralists and other vulnerable groups. In future, I propose that the Committee of the Whole should look at all these issues. I was assured that other Acts that are not amended by the Bill have sufficient provisions for some of the concerns that we have. We will now be waiting to see the implementation of some of the provisions. The spirit of the land valuation and compulsory acquisition should go beyond evictions and disenfranchisement, especially of pastoralist communities that occupy trust lands. They should get value for their land. The protection that the Constitution envisages in terms of land ownership and valuation and the laws that govern our land systems."
