    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 3rd December 2009, the Member for Ikolomani, Dr. Bonny Khalwale, sought a Ministerial Statement concerning the illegal acquisition of a plot known as Nairobi Block 93/1418 which the hon. Member stated was on an environmental carbon – zinc and buffer zone against noise. This plot is situated between Plainsview Estate and the busy Mombasa Highway. The Member further said that the plot belonged to the Government and that it had allegedly been grabbed. In my answer to the Question raised by the hon. Member on 15th September 2009, I informed the House that investigations had been initiated to ascertain the circumstances under which the plot may have been allocated to a private developer. The Ministry conducted thorough investigations and established the following: (i)This is public utility land. (ii)The plot number Nairobi Block 93/1418 with an area of 0.6450 hectares is a buffer zone between Mombasa Road and the Plainsview Estate in Nairobi. (iii)There is no correspondence file or parcel file for the plot which is an indication or confirmation that the plot has not been allocated to any individual. (iv)However, there is a Green Card purportedly opened in respect of the plot indicating that it was leased to Moca Africa Ltd. for a term of 99 years from the 1st February 1996. On the face of it, the Green Card appears to be a forgery and the Ministry has referred it to the Director of Criminal Investigations for appropriate action. The construction that is ongoing has been stopped since the plot is a buffer zone and should remain as such. However, if further construction will be carried out, it will be nothing but an unauthorized structure and will be demolished in accordance with the appropriate laws. I have undertaken to go with Dr. Khalwale to check the physical status of this plot and to confirm what the hon. Member is saying."
