    "content": " This place was very well-planned, but there have been very ambitious developments in the city, which have led to it expanding to 10 times what it was at Independence. I do not know whether the Member is trying to find dignity for the dead or this will create a situation where developers will see this as prime land. The cemetery can be expanded because it is next to a big forest. It was invaded from both the North and the other side, which has a freeway. I still agree with what Hon. Odiwuor said; dignity for the dead has to be there. Hon. Temporary Speaker, another question we should ask ourselves is why we find bodies out there. Is it because people have invaded the graves to look for valuables or because they are shallow? The other day I read that the grave of a famous historical settler in Ol Donyo Sabuk, Macmillan, who has a library named after him, was raided, and his body is no longer there. I do not know what to say about that. However, I know about the grave thieves. We need a security arrangement where police officers, as a function of the national Government, also protect the dead. The citizens cannot protect them. Standards for graves should also be established. They have to be, at least, five feet deep. They should not be shallow.
