    "content": "insurance and somebody has to start from scratch again. We said at the beginning of our term that this is the Senate that will deal with matters to finality. Enough is enough with many of these common problems that keep on appearing and reappearing before this Floor. I urge my good friend, Sen. Sifuna, together with the Committee on Lands Environment and Natural Resources – at the heart of this fight is the title deed and nothing else. From President Kibaki, President Uhuru Kenyatta and President Moi who I can recall visiting this place while passing on Jogoo road. He would say that he had heard people’s stalls were burnt in Gikomba market. He would commit to tell his Principal Secretary to process the title deed, which has never happened. It is time the Committee on Lands Environment and Natural Resources does an enquiry on the size of the land and on whose name the title deed is registered to. If he can sort out that issue with finality, then I can assure Sen. Sifuna that those fires will disappear. The people who burn the stalls of the business people who are young ‘hustlers’ trying to put life together are targeting the land. The perpetrators do this in the hope that these people will give up or collapse with their business and therefore, be left free with the land. I propose that our Committee on Lands Environment and Natural Resources does not treat this matte casually. They should ensure that this issue of the ownership of the parcels of lands; Mutindwa Market, Toy Market and Gikomba is concluded on, the title properly handed to the county because this is public land, so that the matter is sealed with finality. The minute we sort the issue of ownership, the fires will disappear and our young men and women that ply their trade in these markets will not deal with this tragedy again. I thank you for this chance."
