    "content": " No, give me two minutes. Why do I say so? I have a lot of respect for Hon. Rachael Nyamai. She is one of the Chairs I respect. From the Report of the Committee, the owner of the land in question died. His two sons were deported, the lease under which he owned the land was allowed to expire and, upon expiry, a reversal to the County Government of Nairobi was done. The land was cleverly, cleverly allocated to the workers who used to work in the farm. Nothing can be as clear as that. This is pure fraud. My final question is this: The land in question is currently under the occupation of the KDF. Even if we were to argue that public interest grounds stand, as a House, if public interest grounds stand, why could anyone want to evict the KDF? Let me even say what you say is true. Why do you want to evict the KDF? These are the people who protect our country. Why do you want to evict them? Does this House have the powers of the High Court to give orders to evict the KDF? As I rest my case, it is notable that the declaration of right of property or determination of ownership of land can only be declared by the High Court and not a Committee of this House. To this end, the recommendation of the Committee cannot stand and it should be tantamount to clothing the Committee with the jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 165 of the Constitution. On the last paragraph, I was for the idea that this Report be deferred. This Committee should go back. They should tell us who the owners of Solio are."
