    "content": "Our Government is talking about housing. We saw houses worth billions and billions going to the ground. What are they trying to tell us? We want the Government to compensate those who were living on that land. It has refused to devolve land matters, and all title deeds are issued from Nairobi. Why are those transactions not done in Machakos or Mavoko since the Ministry of Lands offices are there? It is simple: We know the cartels behind this and what they are planning to do. They should remember that this land is in Ukambani and it is ours. The people of Machakos County are demanding what is theirs. A Cabinet Secretary in this Government authorised those houses to be built. This matter started in 2013, and we know very well what happened then. Two buddies worked hand-in-hand in State House coordinating this. When the love was too much, they decided to do what has been done. That is why our people are suffering. I do not care what tribe those people are, but they should not be treated the way we have seen them being treated. Can the Government plan to compensate the people of Mavoko and the remaining land be reverted to the county government because it is our land? The Machakos County Government will decide what to do with it. There is nothing like EAPC."
