    "content": "land should be settled and they have already been issued with letters of allotment by the respective Government departments and they have also paid for the same. Most importantly about this parcel of land are the public utilities that are there. This parcel of land has been identified for the construction of a market, a bus park and the Roysambu TIVET. So, when we talk about this land, we are not talking about individuals. We are discussing about public utilities. This House resolved that because allotment letters have been issued, what should follow is that those peasants should be issued with title deeds. That process was almost being concluded until some grabbers of land descended on the parcel and evicted the occupants, poor peasants who had been left there squatting by their former employer, the late Jacob Samuels. The Report of this Committee on Implementation has found fault in the way the CS has handled these issues. She has disobeyed the instructions and recommendations of this House. She has refused, declined or has been unable to perform her official tasks. That is why the House and the Committee wants to sanction her and the sanctions she is supposed to face are provided by law. It is pursuant to Article 152(6) of the Constitution of Kenya and Standing Order No. 66 of the National Assembly that this House seeks to approve the Report of the Committee on Implementation to initiate the process for removal of the CS for refusing to heed the instructions of the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. If the Executive cannot listen to us… We cannot forget that all CSs are approved by this House. How can they then turn around and reject and fail to implement the decisions and recommendations of this House? It is in that spirit that we plead with this House to decline and disapprove the amendments by the Leader of the Majority Party because they are going to negate the essence of this Report. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I oppose."
