    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I have been an elected Member of Parliament for three consecutive terms. I also served in the City Council of Nairobi, now the Nairobi City County. It is true that back in 2008, the City Council of Nairobi appropriated money to buy land for a grave site. Unfortunately, corruption took away all the money appropriated to buy the land. I am one of the Members who alluded to the misuse of funds. It is true that after buying the land for the grave site in Mavoko, those who planned and those who went to assess the land did not consider one factor - the quality of the soil, which is cotton soil. Hon. Temporary Speaker, during the rainy season, cotton soil is easily washed away by heavy rainfall water thereby uncovering the caskets that were buried and this makes the land unsuitable for burial. There was a cemetery land case and the former Nairobi Town Clerk was sentenced to a three-year jail sentence but he met his death while serving the sentence. Nairobi is a cosmopolitan city which many term their home. They are referred to as Nairobians and they must be taken care of as they are the people we represent."
