    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have seen the Statement requested by Sen. Halake. Sen. Halake, Sen. Mwangi and I sat in the Mediation Committee on the Land Value Index Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018 which, ostensibly, was an attempt to amend the Land Acquisition Act where the National Assembly shamelessly approved a law that would allow the national Government to take over land and pay in instalments or pay later. When we went to Kitui County, it was my hope that Sen. Mwangi and his Committee would visit the people of Makueni whose land have been taken by the Government in the last two years and they have not been compensated on the pretext that they are building a highway. There is no proviso taking away the right to property under Article 40. What Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) is doing is an extension of the bad habits of the National Land Commission (NLC), the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning and the Government by extension. I had a discussion with Sen. Murkomen and we said that when a country gets to a stage like this, we have to challenge the Supreme Court and the High Court on matters of this nature. There is a problem when Parliament becomes impotent and the Judiciary puts its tail in between its legs."
