    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is my line Ministry. I am the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. I want to portray leadership and the right direction. You have heard the Cabinet Secretary (CS) refer to Nyandarua County, which I represent, in the issues of issuance of title deeds for the colonial villages. I confirm that from where I sit, since this administration came into power, the people of Nyandarua are big beneficiaries of the good work that is being done by the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development. Out of our 19 colonial villages, 17 are in the pipeline. Just the other day, on the 15th April, they gave title deeds to our village in Shamata. I do not want to ask a Question. I agree with my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, that we need to make things neater. We need to allow the Senator who asked that Question so that we do not delve into other matters and then the Question gets lost along the way. Let us stick to the primary Questions. Then deal with supplementary Questions. Finally, I find it in bad taste that Questions and Statements that are already before a committee appear as supplementary Questions when the CS is here. It makes our work as Committees very difficult. This is because this is the same question that we shall ask the CS when he appears for our proceedings. My final comment would be just as you said, it is not our work to defend CSs. However, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. I must commend the CS who is before the House. I deal with five CSs. Out of the five, he is very committed to our legislative work. Every time we invite him, he avails himself and appears on time and he also gives us satisfactory answers. So, I ask him to continue with the same spirit. He is giving the Government of Kenya Kwanza, the kind of gesture that the people of Kenya would expect from a Government."
