    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true that, that name arose from the settlement by the Government for the soldiers who fought in the First World War. That is where the Europeans were settled by the colonial Government. I rise to seek a further intervention from you with regard to a Report that was laid to this House on 5th December 2019 by the Departmental Committee on Lands. The Report was on the recommendations and findings of a petition that had come through your office through Order 225 Petition No.62 of 2019. When the Report was tabled, that was seven months ago, it has not been debated to date for adoption. Recently, I wrote to your office requesting how your office can help us to have this Report debated as fast as possible, and you directed the Committee to act accordingly. Until today, I have not seen any response from that Committee. So, my plea for you, as the Chair of the House Business Committee, and for the people of Roysambu is that this Report be prioritized for debate as fast as possible, as it discusses matters of public utilities in Roysambu. That is a place we can build a secondary school, a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), a market and a bus park, to solve the rampant congestion, particularly during this time of COVID-19. Hon. Speaker, among the recommendations that had been made by the Committee was that, the Permanent Secretary (PS) in the Ministry of Lands, County Government of Nairobi, and the National Land Commission (NLC) should move fast to complete the titling process, particularly, for the public utilities and to provide titles for the former employees of the late Jacob Samuels. So, I stand to plead with your office to intervene, so that this Report can be brought in as a Motion for adoption through debate. That is my plea. I have a copy of that Report with me and it is very voluminous. I thank the Chair of that Committee for working almost on eight sittings to come up with a very prudent Report. I thank you."
