    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the onset, I remind us that governments all over the world exist for the purposes of protecting lives, property and livelihoods. What is happening in Mavoko, Athi River today, yesterday and the day before yesterday is a very sorry state of affairs. Some of the property owners of the property that has been brought down are actually third or fourth owners of the land on which they have erected their properties. Madam Temporary Speaker, the question that the Mover of this Motion has put on the Floor of this House, is that all of us must exercise our minds on as we debate this Motion. Where was the Government when people put up their houses on that land? Where was the Government when schools were being constructed in this place? Schools are not registered by people, but by Government. How did Government register schools in these areas? How did the Government even make some of these schools examination centres for exams that are supposed to be beginning next week? Where was Government when churches were being built on this land? It is the responsibility of Government to register churches. Without putting unnecessary emotion into this debate, I think a time has come that people’s lives must be held on fire until the truth comes out. What is the urgency in reacquiring this land for the cement factory? Why would we throw out our own people, Kenyan citizens, children and women in the cold at a time like this when the El Nino The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
