The National Land Commission has assured 700-odd families affected by the new metre-gauge railway in Mai Mahiu, Naivasha that they will be compensated. 

The commission said land valuation would start next week so as to pave way for the 24km extension line from the Mai Mahiu SGR station to Longonot town.
