    "content": " It is the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning who is making insinuations behind my back. I hope what he is saying about finance and law is not being captured in the Hansard. Divestiture investment and all those things are related. I veered off to speak about divestiture through privatisation because the Government has a substantial shareholding in Uchumi. We cannot afford to lose money as people focus on all the wrong things through negative propaganda. People are focusing on Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and yet, the Government also has shares in other assets like Hilton Hotel and Intercontinental Hotel, which went under during COVID-19. You may need to ask yourselves if that hotel could be put to better use by Parliament than the Parliamentary Tower that we have built for close to 15 years. We must be unequivocal in ensuring that the National Treasury acts and ensures that, that property is not sold for a song. I beg to support. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
