    "content": " First and foremost, I pass my sympathies to the people of Mavoko. This is a situation that every Kenyan should understand, especially those surviving on meager earnings because of building a house like the ones I saw being demolished. This is a sympathetic situation. We must come to the point of knowing those responsible for making Kenyans suffer this way. We cannot point fingers at a few people because there is a process when one owns land in Kenya. I have been an advocate for a long time and I know very well that you must have a sale agreement to possess a piece of land. Where we have vendors and purchasers, there must be exchange of documents. Who owns those documents without blaming or pointing fingers? Kenya is, indeed, full of cartels. If you go to the land registries, in one way or another, there is duplication of title deeds. You will find a party with an original title deed while others use different methods and end up with the same title deed. If you are not careful enough, you will buy a duplicate title deed and become a sufferer. You cannot say that owners of those houses be compensated because the first question that will come is by who? To me, those vendors who sold those pieces of land (because there must be agreements) where they came from, they must be scrutinised. Whoever sold the land, if he is in this House or not, if he has returned or not, must be culpable as it is in the Constitution.
