    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to comment on the petition. It is true that there is need of compensation for land acquired by the Government from private individuals for the construction of the Kibwezi-Kitui-Kabati-Migwani (B7) Road. This is a matter that has occupied conversations within the Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation. The truth is that the NLC and the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) have been involved in ping-pong where the NLC says that they are ready to compensate sections of the road where they have given award letters but then blame the KeNHA for failure to submit funds. We are now blaming the KeNHA for failure to submit funds for compensation. It will be noted that the responsibility of the National Land Commission (NLC) on compensation is twofold. First, they are supposed value the land and issue award letters to persons affected by the project. After they have issued those awards, they are supposed to calculate the total sum of amount required for compensation to the persons affected by the project and submit it to KeNHA; the agency of Government involved in the construction of the road. Immediately KeNHA receives funds, they are supposed to pass it to NLC for onward transmission to the affected persons."
