    "content": "on this issue. How can a bank give out Kshs4.4 billion to a county government without proper guarantee by the national Government? I remember when the former Governor of Nairobi City County, Gov. Mike Sonko, appeared before CPAIC when Sen. M. Kajwang’ was chairing, there was an issue of KCB then. When you go everywhere, there are always prints of KCB in some of these allegations of fishy deals within loaning of county governments and issues of Inua Jamii. KCB has been mentioned in most of these instances. I think that KCB must come clean because we do not want to get to a situation where we are auctioning the county. On the issue of assets and liabilities, there is the issue of asset register. We need to consult so that we can know. When the National Lands Commission (NLC) came into place, we were told that the Ministry of Lands had started doing digitalization of land transactions and acquisition. I remember the Law Society of Kenya tried to resist. We were informed by the NLC that the Ministry of Lands would be digitized. However, when you watch news daily, you will note that there is at least one or two places that grabbing of land is happening in Nairobi. This matter came before the Committee on Health. As the area Senator has said, we have a problem because people are losing their land. I saw a landowner of European origin being evicted because the land had allegedly been transferred in an irregular manner. When the Governor appears before this Committee, I do not know whether Maj. General Badi will appear. We do not know because we are not the army and there is protocol to be followed within th army. When he appears, he must tell us what will happen to the Kshs76.9 billion. Sen. Sakaja is here. We hope he will not pay back this loan if these people do not explain how this loan was acquired. I want to beseech Sen. Sakaja that - God willing if he becomes the Governor - he should not pay this money until we are told what really happened. I thank you."
