The people who designed the SGR revealed this information to a few people who ended up sharing the benefits that come with it. This is another way of corruption. As the Land Index Bill dictates, we should in future take care of this kind of corrupt practices. We risk the Big Four Agenda, which has to do with housing, manufacturing, food security and development of infrastructure for universal healthcare because all these programmes are associated with land. If we do not pass the Land Value Index Laws (Amendment) Bill, this will definitely affect the Big Four Agenda. As a Member ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. I want to thank the framers of this Bill. I think they have been following what I have also been following, majorly in the media, the way the Government and investors have been suffering whenever they are developing a project. I was reading in some paper someone comparing the cost of SGR in Kenya and the cost of the railway line that was developed between Ethiopia and Djibouti.
