    "content": "An acre of land could be valued at Kshs900,000 but another valuer could value the same land at Kshs30 million. Using the same parameters, you cannot get that kind of variation in the same year. So, there is need to have some way of calculating the values. I hope once the Bill is assented to, there will be some order because many Kenyans are suffering because the relevant commission could not come up with acceptable land values. When valuation is done, you can have three different values by the same commission for the same piece of land. That shows there is no particular way of doing this evaluation. My main concern is the issue of the community land. Right now, we have major infrastructure projects like the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor project which goes through northern Kenya. I know in Marsabit, not less than 400 kilometres are affected. The LAPSSET project is insisting on acquiring a 500 metre corridor and it is all meant to run through community land."
