    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as you realise, out of the many Petitions that are brought to this House, half to three quarters come to the Committee on Land and Environment. The Committee has engaged almost every other department of Government trying to sort out the problems that are aligned to land cases. The Committee has gone very far. Since we came here, we have done more than 50 Petitions. You can realise how much work that involves. In respect of the county visits, in the period under review, the Committee conducted a sight visit to Kitale Primary School following a Petition concerning the alleged illegal alienation of land belonging to Kitale Primary School by a private developer and tabled a report in the House. Thereafter, the Committee conducted another site visit to Makueni County on a Petition concerning the adverse effects of rogue blasting for the construction of Thwake Dam in Makueni County and thereafter tabled a report in the House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I talk of Kitale Primary School, an individual had alienated land from the school and had even acquired title deed. This case has been even discussed earlier. When Sen. Orengo was the Minister of Lands. He cancelled that title deed. For some reason, this same person went behind the cancellation of the title deed and ensured that he had been given another title deed. These cases are there in this country and should be attended to. We should ensure that all public institutions get title deeds for their land and nobody should be allowed to alienate or excise land from public institutions to their names. They were tabled in this House and I hope that the recommendations that were made will be implemented as quickly as they can be."
