    "content": "“Provision may be made for compensation to be paid to occupants in good faith of land acquired under Clause (3) who may not hold title to the land.” So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if there are people who do not have title and who, in good faith, are occupying a place, it is the responsibility of the Government of Kenya to ensure that these persons are actually compensated. Then I want to talk to the issue of rule of law. Even when people improperly occupy land, for us to evict them, we must follow the rule of law. We cannot use shortcuts because we passed the Constitution so that we follow and obey it. We cannot have different classes of persons and different laws applied to them. We are in a new era and that era must be respected. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to talk to the issue of a very unique group of persons in these areas that we are speaking about. There are persons who got wrong titles, sold them to unsuspecting Kenyans and then there are persons who are occupying land for persons who have proper titles, and there are landlords who are encouraging them to occupy it. I alluded to this yesterday."
