    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion before the Floor of this House. To begin with, when we are in this House, our fundamental role is to represent our people. It does not matter where those people come from. We are here to represent the citizens of this country from every corner of this Republic. The issue of Mavoko and the matters of eviction indict the entire land regime in Kenya. There is something called the sanctity of ownership; sanctity of title deeds in this country. It puts us off when someone goes to the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, does a search, is told the land is valid, proceeds to construct property, and after that, the person is told that the property is not properly documented. This is the case and yet we have only one Ministry in Kenya - the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development that issues titles deeds. Hon. Temporary Speaker, these are innocent Kenyans who have borrowed loans. They have gone to banks and secured loans. There are Kenyans who have built properties using mortgages. Thereafter, they are evicted under the pretext that the entire process of ownership of the land was not proper."
