    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support Sen. Halake’s Statement. Kenyans sighed with relief when the new Constitution was promulgated. They believed that injustices were going to be corrected and that no more injustices would be meted on Kenyans. If you look around the country, you will realise that a few individuals appropriated public land and community land to themselves. That has happened in Laikipia, Isiolo, Taita-Taveta, the entire Coast region and the Rift Valley. Those people gave themselves title deeds and transformed themselves and their families to multi- billionaires from street workers. Today, we have been told of the problem in Isiolo. While we appreciate that the army must have some places to have their camps, we are also of the view that due process has to be followed when taking land that belongs to communities or county governments. There must be proper order. The Constitution does not just talk of adequate compensation but it also talks of it being prompt. No institution of Government whether the army, presidency or whatever should be allowed to walk into any county and appropriate land without regard to the people who live in that area."
