• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment. From what the Chair of the Committee has said, it is important that the acquiring body has the final word. As he has said, we have witnessed a bit of collusion when it comes to land matters.

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The Chairman needs to give us some clarifications as a House because an index is a composite value which is calculated out of many other variables. I am not sure that out of those many variables, the market value will be missing to do a land value index. He needs to clarify that. Is he saying that out of the many variables which are considered to come up with a land value index, market prices are not part of that? We need to clarify that. view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: unit. It is just a factor. I am not convinced because when you talk about consumer price index, that is a factor. I am totally convinced that we can have a land value index without considering the market price of land. Unless we are just trying to emphasise, this amendment might not add value. As Hon. Nyikal has said, the word used is “consultation” and earlier the word that was used was “jointly”. Most of the land in this country is under the custody of the county governments.
