    "content": "Committee on Land and Environment and Natural Resources to look into this issue and ensure Kenyans have access to title deeds. This issue of Kajiado County is not a unique case. There is serious fraud in terms of land ownership in Nandi and Nairobi City counties as well as the Coast. Nowadays, people are dying not because of diseases, but because of shock and frustration after being defrauded and conned, leaving them desperate. I call upon the Committee to expeditiously address this issue so that those Kenyans can own the land or property they bought. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I ask agencies such as the Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the police to do their job. I have just come from the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, where we were listening to a fraud case. Over 8,000 young men were allegedly conned by company called First Choice in Uasin Gishu County. It is very unfortunate that we are being conned. I hope some of us will not be conned from going to heaven. You are either conned of your land or scholarship. The DCI, EACC and the Ministry concerned must tell Kenyans why until today, those Kenyans do not have title deeds which they paid for. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that a company has mutated to another company and continues to operate freely; yet we have agencies that license and regulate companies. I sympathize with those petitioners, but I also congratulate them for bringing the Petition to this House. I hope this matter shall be dealt with expeditiously. Let these Kenyans have their rights protected. They do not need to bring a petition to the Senate so that they can be heard. I wish them well as they seek justice and access to title deeds."
