    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a land rush in Mavoko. Everybody is yearning to own land in Athi River. Land has appreciated in Athi River. So, everybody wants a piece of land in Athi River. However, this has caused a lot of problems to our people. If I mention the number of pieces of land that I have problems with in Athi River, you will not believe it. We have Syokimau, the holding ground for sheep and goats, the Numerical Machining Complex land, the East African Portland land and the City cotton land. People grabbed land in Athi River and sold it to innocent Kenyans who are now building their houses. There is something that is very wrong in this country with regard to land issues. I am glad I saw the Minister for Lands. He is already doing something, but we need to do more. I urge this Government to respect its own law. We cannot make the law and, at the same time, break it. When we have cases pending in the courts, the Government should not take any action until these cases are determined. Let this Government respect our courts."
