    "content": "It is assumed that community land is not developed; the way we understand development. We, as Pastoralists, believe that the way we are using land is the best way to use it. We do not have to construct structures on it to indicate that we have developed it. The way we use it; that is the best way we can use it. So, there must be a way of taking that into account; the form of land use. This involves a bigger population. Unlike private land where only a family or an individual will be affected. In this case, we are affecting a whole community which uses that land. Once you have that kind of infrastructure going through, then you are disrupting their way of life. They will not be able to cross that infrastructure development, whether it is the railway line or a road. You have already disrupted their lives completely. How do we take that into account? We accept this Bill as it is after mediation, but there is need to refine it further. This is to ensure that other forms of land use which unfortunately are the ones most affected like pastoralism are factored in, so that we can establish the real value. Just the way land value index takes into account the issue of development, this one has to take into account the issue of land use and we can come up with a different land value index for that."
