"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support the Statement by Sen. Richard Onyonka on land issues in Kisii County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, land issues in Kisii and Nyamira counties are not a new phenomenon. Most of these issues emanate from cultural issues. Even when such cases drag to court, some have taken 10 to 15 years. This is because, most members of the society have strong attachment to land that has been acquired from their grandparents and great-grandparents. As a result, most of them are not willing to participate in the succession of land. So, I feel the Ministry needs to work closely with the land registrars, to conduct civic education on why succession needs to be done earlier, so that we do not have cases dragging in court. In some instances, we see people who are putting injunctions in court to even bar dead bodies from being buried. Largely, this is affecting women because they are the ones married in those families. Some are not able to accept that they are already part of those families. This Statement by Sen. Onyonka is very timely, and it calls for the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development to take this issue seriously, so that we sensitize our people on succession processes and why they need to begin earlier, and why they need to report some of these challenges before they get out of hand. I support that Statement."

"content": "The issue of compensation has been a nagging problem, especially with Government agencies. The question we keep asking ourselves is why the Government put in a request or a need for land, and failed to put a budget for compensation of land. This is a process that really disadvantages the land owners because they are given notices to leave, the projects are initiated, and are sometimes completed before members of the public are compensated. The most outstanding issue in this case is that, an initial acquisition was made of 390 acres, but they ended up using 28,000 hectares of land. So, how do we make use of land that has not even been paid for? It is on this same Floor that in the past, I indicated that there are even a number of markets in this country, one of them is in my county called Kodumba Market. That is a market still on freehold, the owners of this land were never compensated, but the county government even collects cess from that land. To me, this is an injustice to the people of Kenya and particularly this LAPSSET Project. There has been use of so much money. Why do they use people’s land yet they were never compensated them? It is unfair? So, I support that the land owners must be compensated, not only for the land, but for even the property that was on that land. I support."
