• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: With regard to the Petition, we have seen very many similar petitions about compensation. I think the more we go without asking ourselves the critical questions, the more we will have similar Petitions. Chapter 5 of our Constitution is very clear; the principles of land policy include security of land rights. Cap.235 of Land Acquisition Act is also extremely clear on the process through which land is acquired, especially when it relates to a project. view
• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: The funds for compensation are provided for in the project firms. How is it that a project is 50 per cent to completion and yet the people have not been compensated? I brought similar issues on Mountain View, old Uthiru, Ruthimitu about the expansion of highways--- view

• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: The point I was making is this: I brought up this matter of expansion of Nairobi- Nakuru Highway Project which is affecting business people. We have similar problems in Westlands, Outering Road and so many other places where people are not being compensated despite the fact that the budget of any project includes money for compensation. How come this project is almost 50 per cent complete and yet the people are still waiting for compensation? view

• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: Let us make sure that this Ministry does not just see brick and mortar in terms of projects, but compensate those people being displaced from their rightful land before starting a project. We do not want to see this issue of compensation coming up when the project is almost complete. I urge the Committee to address this issue once and for all. Let them ask the right questions. Lastly, I pray that the prayers of the petitioners from Kitui County be answered. view
